Pulling dinner out of the ground

I am finished with the second round of site visits. Some of you may be saying, " i did not realize you were doing a second round of site visits". You are now caught up.

I just got back from Restauracion (on the border) today, and I am fairly tired due to the loud rap music that permeated the night. A cockroach scurried across my neck all night and went in my mouth and pooped in my eyeball...ok that last part didnt happen, and its really gross, but I was woken to the light fleeting sensation of a cockroach on more than one occasion. I have been off visiting sites and preparing budgets for volunteer costs; lodging, food, transportation, rat poison( for the rats, not volunteers) and all that jazz. I took public transport to the 2 of the sites so I could compare the trips.......I like my motorcycle.

In between site visits I may or may not have been to the beach.....twice.....

Gotta stay motivated, right?

I don't really have much to tell you guys, but I wanted to update you on where i'm at in my life. I have a fancy new cell phone now with unlimited data so if you have a smartphone download the app Whatsapp and we can text for FREE.....UNLIMITED....WAAAAAOOOOO. My number is 829-562-9792. Hook it up brotha.

Ummmm......what else......nothing. Here are some photos of what we had for dinner last night. Its called yuka and its a root, literally:

So its a little tree and you pull it out to the roots, cut the roots ( the thick poop looking things), peel the roots, boil and eat the roots.....its actually very good with some onions and cheese. This guys just went into his field and picked some out.

Little taste of the Dominican diet for ya, Adios!
