Every morning I pass Christopher Columbus’ memorial on the way to work. This memorial is somewhat of a controversy here. Christopher Columbus is a bad man to the Dominicans. He is responsible for killing all the original Indians here in the DR. No one here likes him at all. The memorial was built, but no one wants it. It is also part of another controversy between Spain and the DR. Spain says they have the bones of Christopher Columbus and the DR says they have them. I guess even Cuba says they have them. It’s a big deal. The pictures attached are of the memorial.
Today was a better day. I think I’m over the jet lag. The group wanted to change their hours from 9-6 to 8-5. We will start this new schedule tomorrow. This is better for me too. 9-6 is pretty long. Today we got all the computers hooked up and started some training. I think tomorrow will be more smooth and we will get a lot accomplished.
There is a girl at my work who has a close friend who is in real estate and she is going to take me out apartment hunting on Thursday. She
has 4 apartments for me to look at.
