so its been a while since i have updated this thing. everything is going well. Right now i am in the cibao region. kinda north in the country. it is very beautiful as we live in the mountains. sorry for the lack of pictures but i left my camera cord in santa domingo but as soon as i can i will upload the pics. the people in the DR are so warm and friendly it makes adjusting to the culture much easier. Not to say there haven´t been difficulties, mostly with my stomach, the new diet doesn´t agree with me. My spanish is improving, i can almost talk to a four year old. I really like the family i am staying with right now. My fellow volunteers are pretty cool too, we hang out a lot. it is weird though knowing that in a month we will go our own way and not see each other so much. I miss the comforts back in the states no doubt, but i feel very good about my decision to come here. we shall see what happens in the future but i got faith i´ll be fine. Please keep sending me messages even if I don´t get to reply.
