... imagine, as those of you who know me well know that I LOVE to swim!! I am really happy about the size of it as well, as it is decent for doing laps - and I will be able to keep in swimming shape for triathlon season next summer! If only the roads were good enough to have a bike...sigh. I guess I can't have everything - I will settle for the pool...and the 2 minute walk from the white sand beach! I have included a view of the beach at ...

Fui a ir en el autobus a la Romana. Fui a ver los edificios de viejo. Fui a comprar en la comercial de la Romana. Fui a comer en los restaurantes bien. Fui a comer chuleta al carbon. Fue muy bien. Fui a quidar en Hotel Casa del Mar. Fui a sacar muchos fotos por el ciudad.

... be ready to dive in to any and all of these projects. I think that they will end up spending most of the time in the garden, though, as that is where they need the most help! I will update more on this as information becomes available! I know that both the Consuelo and Dartmouth East clubs are excited to be able to work together for this great cause! STUDENT UPDATE: THE OPERATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 1. PLEASE SEND YOUR GOOD THOUGHTS TO HIM ON THIS DAY!!

... itself indefinitely. I will let you know how it's going once it gets started. So that's pretty much what my weeks look like here. I do have a lot of free time in the evening, but there are Rotary meetings on Tuesdays, and I usually end up going to the gym with Sindy a few nights a week as well. Although I am up early (I run every morning at 6:30), I feel quite relaxed and rested most days, although I am ALWAYS too hot in the afternoon! However, I ...

... By this time Catherine had purchased all of her groceries, had taken them to the car, and was waiting for me. I felt bad that she was waiting, but I really had no idea that going to the JUMBO was going to be such a process! I also managed to find some 2 for 1 wine (at 2 bucks a pop, I couldn't go wrong!), which was exciting. There was a problem at the check-out with those individual plastic CD sleeves...for some reason, the special price tag that was ...

... flights worth is a LOT), so he started talking to me in English about the ridiculous set-up. Apparently this guy lives in Boston, and was coming to visit his mother for a week. Then he asked me how many bags I had, and his jaw hit the floor when I told him, "just 5!" Then I explained what was in them, and the jaw came back up off of the floor. He was very nice, and wouldn't let me take them off of the carousel. He asked me how ...

... time we go back to the beach. I feel like a sponge! Full of oil and slippery! :) So we're back at the beach and I want to drive banana boat. Moni & Gabriela pass. So I go to the Sea Pro Divers and finally does Daniel drive the boat & Wilfred, Demetrio and I sit on the banana!! It's sooo funny and really worthwhile! Daniel drives very fast and from time to time we all fall down in the water!! We have so much fun together. After this 30 min. tour we're back at ...

... quite a diverse group. There's 17 year old Joscar who'se about 6'2 and 7 year old Nelfris who comes up to his waist. But be warned, Nelfris is a little spitfire. What he lacks in size and weight he makes up for in trash-talk and cheap shots. Usually I try to stamp out just behavior but he's too cute to discipline. I mean, I have to tie the flag football belt around him twice just so it will stay up on him. How could you punish a kid like that? Right now we are still ...

Hello from the Wonderful and Exotic DR, I am in my last week of training and am excited to be returning to the city, however there will be sad farewells to my family and the community of Cabreto. These past few weeks and been pretty slow since we have finished our labor training and moved into the Charlas (Presentations). I have been thinking about the DR a lot and there is just no way that I can do the DR justice in my travelogues, but I am trying ...

... Hey, I can deal with frogs. However, my first night in my new house was a different story. I had put up my mosquito net earlier and thought it was good enough, but I did not close the entrance. Around 2:30am I woke up to find a spider the size of my hand walking upside-down in the mosquito net with me. I was paralyzed with fear because I thought if I moved it was going to bite me and I would die. I can handle little spider no problem, but this one looked lethal ...
