viernes

well, it is has been a decent week here in the dominican republic. i know that i could live here despite all of the irregularities that occur. irregularities you ask? site an example....

well, power could go out anytime, and no one knows for long. you could lose water for who knows how long? don´t wear white during the day, unless you are going straight from your lovely air conditioned car to your lovely clean home to your lovely clean and airconditioned work....expect waits for crazy things. expect to be checked out by men and women (not because the women are interested in you, but because they are curious), expect to be hot.....

but also expect to talk to people while waiting for your food or a gua-gua. expect to have people help you or answer questions for you.

expect the unexpected!

tonight i am going to go with some of the girls from my school (ones that work there) out for drinks and then out dancing. we are going to go to the bar at the new coco boutique hotel, that i am staying at next week! this excites me!

when i return to my home this afternoon there will be a new woman from germany staying there. i will see if she needs any help, would like to join me on any excursions....tomorrow i would like to go the beach. i think i will return to boca chica for the day. i thought about going north and visiting family of friends but i would need to leave soon, and that means not going out tonight...and i would rather go out!!!!

sunday, i think i will go to zona colonial or back to the mall. there was a piece of art there that i liked as well as some very cool clothes....but i really should not spend much money....but as far as the art, it depicts a cultural moment. it is of a chicken done in bright colors and the artist came in while we were there. a very cool older man with a long white beard. i was able to take a picture of him and when i return home i will upload it to todays entry in the blog....

as for yesterdays excursion to the lyle reitzel gallery. i will definitely bring the women to that area, as it has some cute little cafes and exclsuive shopping as well as the gallery and it is close to a very nice mall, the acropolis mall.

ok....that´s all for now and maybe for the weekend. i am going to head home so that i can rest, meet my new neighbor and clean up to go out!

tienen un buen fin de semana.

un beso.
