Dejavue Hotel La Romana

... forward to working closely with him very soon.<br><br>Over the next few weeks, we hope to get the written permission, visit the site of the future garden to take some pictures and plan an outline, and then go to Hato Mayor (next province to the north) to scope out prices and materials. I found out that the places will deliver the items as part of the cost, which is great news. I will be sure to keep you updated as our project progresses. Wish us luck!<br>

Left very cold Birmingham far too early in the morning. The flight was fast due to tail winds - only 8 hours!! It was made bearable by playing Who wants to be a Millionaire and watching the new 'Brideshead Revisited'. Landed in hot and sunny Dominican Republic at 2pm - we are 4 hours behind everyone in the UK.

... between them is the respect in general that the students have, both for their teachers and for their families. During the week, I rotate between 3 schools in 3 different bateyes, and I work with students in grades 7 and 8, with students ranging anywhere between 11 and 17 or 18 years old. As I may have explained before, students here don't attend classes for the full day; they go for 4 hours only. However, there are 3 different 4-hour sessions offered ...

... rain run-off, etc. (which there was PLENTY of over the last few days!). When I took my first shower there, I was thinking of my sister, and how I think she may have a heart attack if she had to shower this way (by the way, there is no shower curtain)! The house was very warm and cozy, and her family is really nice. She has 2 brothers, who are 21 and 24, and they are both crazy! They are really funny and silly, and they really went out of their way to talk to me ...

... welcoming and friendly, and they always try to include me in whatever is going on. I have grown very fond of all of them already, and I have only been here for 5 days! Someday before I leave, I am really hoping to be able to understand them when they talk to one another! I feel I must mention the family dog again (see picture). I have befriended the pooch over the last few days, and Elena is so amused by this that she has ...

... it looks very different now and not as much jungle remains due to some hurricanes in the 1990s. It was still a spectacular sight. After finishing our lunch, we walked around town a little bit and bought some souvenirs. We didn't have quite enough time to really look around and explore the art galleries, but it was starting to get late and we had a two hour drive ahead of us. Altos de Chavon really made me want to see the real thing in Italy! It was beautiful there.

... Well, I wanted to ask this and I am. Christmas is coming up and I was wondering if some of you would like to send care packages. I am going to write down some things that would be nice, but if you decide to send one feel free to add other things. (peanut-butter, balance bars, Off-repellent, a journal, incents, candy, Card games (uno or phase 10), tea packages, storage container(maybe you could use the container to put other stuff in while sending), body ...
