Finalmente !!

Okay Okay Okay

Being the constant procrastinator, I've finally gotten around to my first post ..

It's largely because it's going to be dificil to get my pics online for you guys and I thought that the blog would be greatly disadvantaged by that .. but I'll keep on trying.

Entonces ... I've been here for about a week and a half so far and I AM LOVING IT !!

This place really is like La Isla Bonita in Madonna's song. I've been to Carnival and a large street festival and several fiestas in these bodegas called Colmados. Been drinking more than my fair share of Presidente and Brugal and eating tons of Mangu -mashed plantains, somethin like mashed potatoes .. in principal alone though- and Habichuelas and of course Cerdo *oink*

Oh yeah, the classes .. son excelente ! I have my first examen this week Friday so remember me. Say a little prayer .. cualquiera

Speaking of prayer, Santo Domingo is the site of the oldest Catedral in the Western Hemisphere. I took lots of great pics and want to get them posted asap.

Okay - Nos Vemos ...

Will post more .. horita !!
