driving

If any of y'all remember me saying that when I first moved to this country that I had to learn both how to drive stick shift, in addition learn how to drive period. For a good laugh, learn more about the obstacles of driving in the Dominican Republic by reading the following article.

it's been a while

So, life is good. I apologize for the very little amount of posting in the past month. Be on the lookout for things in the next week or so. I promise things will be posted soon. For now, so y'all know, all is well.

whales

We went whale watching the beginning of February during our staff retreat. In the truck on the way there it started to rain. We were sitting in the truck bed, it was hilarious!! Good thing we had a tarp with us to cover up with, though I am sure we were a sight driving down the road.me, Kate, and David
Weston and Cara


The other pictures are of us on the boat as we went out to see the whales. (Look at Cara for a good laugh). If y'all remember, I did the same thing last year with Alexia, Keith, Jennie, and Miguel. This year though it was a little more sketchy. The boat we were on was a lot smaller. It started pouring whenever our journey started, so we all put on these huge yellow rain jackets. Somehow they did not keep us dry.

It was supposed to be a three hour tour to see the whales, we were all a little nervous about the down pour though. I started singing the theme song to Gilligan's Island. It made everyone laugh.

We had a great time. I saw whale tails (pictured), which I didn't see last year. Though we totally weren't following regulations of whale watching, and we were never informed of any whale information. I told everyone the few things that I remembered though.

All in all we had a really great time, another adventure that I will always remember.

neifi


Pictured is Neifi, one of our preschool students. I asked her if she could separate the different colors and build objects specific to one color. She could, and I was so excited!! Way to go, Neifi!
