Hello everyone!
Right now I am sitting on my front porch, because that is the only place the internet will connect.  I have a little usb that I plug into my computer and it goes through the phone service.  It's super slow, but not too too bad in the early morning and late at night.  Right in front of me is a cow grazing on the small lot next to our house, and all I hear is roosters, and some donimican music in the background, as well as some bikes zooming by out on the main road. 

I have been learning how to drive the bike.  We have a suzuki.  I'm still getting used to it but I'm not doing too bad.  I have practiced in the fields near our house, and I have driven it to Pueblo Nuevo a couple of times.  I seem to be the "side show" in town.  I'm not only the white girl in town, I'm now the white girl attempting to drive the bike. haha

This past week, I went to Pueblo Nuevo on Wed, Thur, and Friday to work/ help out in the kindergarten class.  The kids and Elba, their teacher, were happy to have me back.  When Elba gives them work to copy, they usually all crowd around me waiting for my help of talking them through it.  We have also sung "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" about 100 times.  They love it! haha

During their recess time, the older kids from the other classroom come over and want to learn english.  I made a poster for their class room with the numbers, alphabet, colors, shapes, and some animals in English.  They all ran and got their notebooks and started copying it down trying to say them.  :)

I have eaten lots and lots of rice and beans and lots of yucca.  Nani (who my group built a house for in '09) invited me for Dulce. So after school on Thursday, I sat with her and her 4 girls and we ate together.  It was yummy.  Everyone makes their dulce a little different here, but that is what they make when they invite guests to their house.

Alright, I need to go do my laundry, 
Adios!
:)
