Pigs
Ok, I had no intention to post, but here I am at a computer- using the internet in the DR - and trying to load photos. This is not an easy task.
Anyway, I am good. 4 months here...life in the campo is going well. I´m learning to relax and take things as they come, which I´ve never done before. I´ve always worked with goals and tasks somewhat in the near future. Here I do whatever comes, whatever the community needs. There is planning of course, if you can call it that, because it never turns out the exact way you planned or expected, which I´m learning isn´t so bad after all. Versatily and all that jazz. The unknown. That´s my life.
I´m looking forward to projects, projects I never saw myself doing like latrines and working with the school. I have a found love of pigs. I LOVE them. They are adorable, they remind me of Tallulah. I want one for my house. Which reminds me...did I tell you guys they´re building me a house? Yup. I am beyond excited because, no matter how much I like my host family - a girl needs her space, and pancakes in the morning. Not yucca and fried cheese.
Also, a HUGE thank you to mom and Jeff for my christmas present!!! I miss everyone and am waiting to hear from you guys about your visits. Yup your visits...make it happen!
