The doña
in all her glory

niños
Diego and Madelyn (middle) were my doñas grandkids who lived her

Gallo
She cooked a rooster and was slightly upset that I didn't kill it.

Site Visit
The other Youth Development (YD) folks and I visited a YD PCV, they are all about initials in Peace Corps, and some painted a mural

Cultural Exchange
This kid found one the volunteers glasses and tried wearing them, but for him it was more like those simulated beer-goggles colleges make you wear during Alcohol Awareness Week

Cancha
While others painted to played b-ball. Those kids fouled HARD.

Profs.
Some language teachers were lounging.

Francisco
This was the pet raven we had at our house...it was the meanest and crankiest bird I've ever been around but they used it as security since it would squawk so loud at night when anybody walked near the house

Laundry
It was laundry day for me on the last night...the doña again was slightly annoyed at the amount of clothes I had

Vecina
This was my neighbor and Madelyn posing for a shot

Chisme
Gossip is said to be the National Sport in Santo Domingo, and this was chisme at its finest
