Almost a Resident!

Having just got my email back, I just got an email from the DR branch office, letting me know that I am ready for the next step in the residency process! About another month and a half and I should no longer be an illegal alien!

Wooo hooo!

Back Up and Running

I have been out of commision here the last little bit due to some computer virus problems, but all that has been fixed now (I think. . .)

And on the positive side, we have our internet working a little better, so I should have more of a permenent presence on Skype whenever I am home. . . so feel free to call anytime!

A few things have passed while my computer has been out of commision, and I will post about them soon. There may be new pictures, but Mike doesn't seem to want to share the ones he took - the big grouch.

Barracuda

If you have looked through my pictures, you probably have seen the picture of my study on the beach J

Not only is he doing very well in his study, he also is a very generous guy and insists that we eat with him every Tuesday for lunch when we go to have his study. These people don’t have much, but they are willing to share what they do have. Normally it is just some chicken and rice, but this last week he had a treat waiting for us. He was all excided when we got there, because one of his neighbors had caught a barracuda. He was cooking it over an open fire made of driftwood. Let me tell you, that was some of the best fish I have ever had in my life. He took the head for himself, because he knows its kind of odd for us gringos to eat the head, but to the Dominicans, that is the best part. So he is there knawin on this head that still has these big‘ole teeth in it. yummy
