Oh dear. Still house-hunting. I walk through the town asking around for an empty (and livable!!) house. There are so many empty houses, but the owners do not rent them, either they live in the capitol and come back for vacation or they are just too afraid ... Read more >

But you know English, right? It’s easy. Yeah, ... Read more >

Monday came and I finally received my project site and my cell phone. Finally, I can call someplace more my home. Or at least for the next three months. You can now find me in Miches, on the east coast of the DR. It is a small pueblo of about 10,000 ... Read more >

I made it back to the capital. This morning I woke up cold and with a sore throat. I was dreading taking the cold bucket bath, but my dear host mom boiled some water so I could have a warm bath. She knew I had been feeling sick. I had forgotten how nice ... Read more >

I´ve been told that there is an organized public transportation, but I have yet to see it, or at least it is so very confusing to me. We were taught how to take the guaguas or busses and the carro publicos to and from home and school. We did this all ... Read more >
