Buena Vida

Hola amigos y familia!!!!

Hoy llegue a Moca para visitar otro voluntatria.
Manana vamos a ir a Los Bueyes, un campo muy pequeno pero lleno de beyeza.

It is supposed to have one of the nicest waterfalls in the DR. Very excited!!!!

My experience so far in the Dr have been great.
Went dancing at our local ¨car wash¨this past weekend. hahaha
and visited the local beach.

Very crowded and full of noise. But all of la buya goes away when you begin to float.
Everything goes away and you-i forget where I am.
But oh was i happy to swim!!! To be in the water again.

My family is awesome. I feel at home with them but soon, thursday i will be leaving for 5 weeks to Altamira for CBT. Community Base Training where i will learn more about my program.

Time is going by fast and yet slow at the same time.

Everyday is an adventure, everyday brings something new.

Oh.... some chisme for you.
The other day I was coming back from the Colonial Zone with one of my pc friends and a fight broke out in the guaga. Guagas are always full to extra capacity so it was crazy!!!!
Were talking about 35 people in a 15 person bus!

This lady was upset and did not want to pay the fair so she started yelling at the cobrador and the driver.
The chouffer stops the car and starts yelling back and she yells,
que vas hacer, tu no vas hacer nada!!!
he comes at her by the throat!!!
evryone scrambling to pull them apart.
you can tell she is embarrased and in this country no one likes to loose face so...
she starts punching him.
Note... these are two adults, man and woman in ther 60s.
He gets embarassed and pushes her again as his pants are falling down
This time she takes off her shoe and starts beating him with it!!!!
CRAZY!!!!!!!

Everyone is yelling and the fighting stops and the bus continues.
Do you think she gets off the bus...
Nope she just starts again with the cobrador. hahaha you gotta love it.

Well ill fill you in more later, voy a ir pasiando con la otra americana.

Besos muy grande te mando !!!!!
