Day 2

We started out the day with going to Vida Nueva church at the 10 am service. Sheila,  the MS principal, picked us up, along with the new Chaplin (from Kentucky), and it was about a 5-10 min drive there. The service is in Spanish, but we can get headphones to listen to the sermon in English.  Many of the teachers go there, along with several other English speakers, which was nice. The pastor and his wife are from, I think Kentucky.  There was also a few other of the new teachers as well. For lunch we went to Sheila and Dan ' s house for lunch with the other teachers. Lunch was taco salad with fresh mango (from their mango tree outside their house!!! ) and pineapple - both very sweet and do good! They have a maid Mariella, and her friend that also helped out. Marcelle is going to do maid service for us about once a week. She is also a university student, and walks very far to go to their house.  (Ours is very close to her house as well.) We played games  (a group of us played pictionary) and talked and got to know each other. I also tried my first Dominican coffee called Santo Domingo. It was good, but very strong and had to add quite a bit of sugar and steamed milk.

After that Sheila took us to LA Sirena to get a fee more things. I needed another small fan for my room, plus I got a few groceries-- cucumbers-- which I love- had one for supper, and it didn't taste like a store kind!

A few more things:
- We carry water where ever we go. It's important to stay hydrated as it is easy to get dehydrated.
-There are lots of car alarms, and they go off quite frequently (including this mornings)
- my address, if you want to send me mail---

- the weather is very hot and humid. You sweat a lot, and appreciate air conditioning (in the cars) and stores.
