Additional News!!
Ok, I have this awesome friend Molly and together we duke it out against McGonagal/Umbridge. The reason for writing about this is to tell you about her Doña (a general name for the woman of the house). Her mom is so crazy that she gives her ONE roll of toilet paper per every 8 days, which she has to guard in her room. Molly has fire red hair, is short like me, and she’s hilarious. A saving grace in the middle of all the crazy Dominicans. When Dominicans call at her, she says, “hello” in a voice dripping with sarcasm, she makes me laugh.
Another friend, Doron, decided he loved Dominican food so much that he was going to try corn from a roadside stand. BAD IDEA. He got sick. He proceeded to throw up so violently that his retainers flew out of his mouth and he lost them for good. Just goes to show you they know what they’re talking about when they say don’t take chances with roadside food!
And, today, the driver of my public car tried to cheat me on my change. I was in a particularly good mood and ready to test out my Spanish for the day. I loudly told him that I have paid the same amount for 4 weeks and that he needed to give me my change. HA, I got it. That one was for Molly, she gets cheated almost everyday.
I LOVE IT HERE!! I’m listening to Disney music in our computer lab at school and sitting next to hilarious Molly. Life is great. Simple pleasures. I’ve got my Language and Culture class and then Linguistics with M/U lady. Did I mention there are only 4 students total in the class? Bring it on.
Random fact of the day:
Speed bumps are called “sleeping policemen” in Spanish.

It is so great to read the Adventures of Allyson. I love the pictures-A perfect combination of chronicles and art! Not only are you a great artist/photographer you are a wonderful writer. Through your words I really get the colorful nature of the country and the people.
