Laguna Limon.

USA | Monday, 15 Dec 2008 | Views [371] | Comments [1]

Saturday’s fundraising trip out to the laguna was successful. It started off to a rocky start, as the bus hadn’t arrived by 8:30 as planned to take the members and their guests out to the laguna, and we couldn’t reach the driver. He has no cell phone ... Read more >

Teaching. Trip.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Friday, 12 Dec 2008 | Views [328] | Comments [2]

Somehow I agreed to teach an English class, and now I don’t know what I was thinking at the time. I am not a teacher, and teaching a language is pretty difficult. They tell me: But you know English, right? It’s easy. Yeah, ... Read more >

Thanksgiving. Work.

USA | Wednesday, 10 Dec 2008 | Views [369] | Comments [1]

This is something I had been working on, but my internet is not that reliable now, as it all depends on whether or not the guy in charge of the building is working and if we have luz, so it may be old news...but here goes: Normal ... Read more >


A few more pix

USA | Thursday, 27 Nov 2008 | Views [338] | Comments [1]

Lucky me. I am in the capitol and so I have been able to upload a few more pictures. Not too many, but its better than nothing. Most of them are of either my new home, or my gua-gua ride into my little pueblo.


Moldy Me.

USA | Wednesday, 26 Nov 2008 | Views [400] | Comments [2]

The other day I took out a pair of pants to wear and I found spots, little white moist spots. Mold. I hadn’t worn the pants in probably a month, and so they were molding in the closet. I had been warned about this, but my clothes ... Read more >

Still itching. Names.

USA | Saturday, 15 Nov 2008 | Views [383] | Comments [4]

I am on the computer, and of course my little buddy is sitting right here next to me. He is amazed that I can type without checking the keys. Its magic! He is probably my favorite of all my host brothers, he is so silly, and likes to run around in ... Read more >


ChickenPox.

USA | Tuesday, 11 Nov 2008 | Views [755] | Comments [1]

Yesterday I went to the river in a neighboring town and now I am regretting having gone. I got attacked by these tiny bugs that left welts all over my legs. Seriously ugly red welts. It looks like chicken pox and itches like crazy. I want to rip the skin ... Read more >


Cover-up. Christy Bobble-Head.Bote

USA | Tuesday, 11 Nov 2008 | Views [454] | Comments [5]

I am sitting here trying to write an entry while my youngest host brother overlooks my shoulder. Every time I am on, here is right here beside me, waiting for me to get off the internet so that he can go on as well and play games. He just burped ... Read more >

After a week back in the capital -swearing in and becoming an official volunteer, saying goodbye to my SD family and fellow volunteers, and spending my first Halloween in the DR- I have returned home to Miches. I struggled the morning after Halloween ... Read more >

I've Struck GOLD.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Friday, 24 Oct 2008 | Views [469] | Comments [4]

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 >


Made it back. Tigueres.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Saturday, 18 Oct 2008 | Views [521] | Comments [2]

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 >


Wrapping up

USA | Friday, 17 Oct 2008 | Views [352] | Comments [3]

I have to pack today. On Saturday I am going back to the capital for a few days, and then I am off to visit my future site. Wherever that is. Who knows. It makes for an anxious me. These last five weeks in the campo just flew by. It is a mixture of events ... Read more >


Droppings.Hiking.Internet.Fuerte.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Saturday, 11 Oct 2008 | Views [410] | Comments [5]

This morning I woke up and figured that I would clean up some of the mess I have left on the dresser only to find that there were rat droppings all over my stuff. So gross. I had to clean it up, and boil some of my stuff just in case (soap dish, toothbrush/holder).... Read more >
