They say a pictures worth a thousand words. Well this one's for Ma and Pa who sometimes have a difficult time imagining what my life here actually looks like. Below are pictures of my life in during Pre-Service Training (PST) in a barrio of the capital called Pantoja, Santo Domingo:
My goofy sister, Kiara, on the porch where we "do yoga" together
The bathroom and bucket using for bathing and flushing the toilet! We're in a drought and the water only comes once a week so I only get one small bucket full for washing hair, body and flushing the toilet. Ah!
The kitchen - check out them dishes! ¿Pero quién va a fregar?
My host sister Kiara putting on a mustache while we make friendship bracelets on the porch!
The back porch doubles as a living room and laundry area
Hello from the porch - doubles as my workout area!
Laundry room and kitchen table
The view of the street.
Another view of the street! It's a pretty sketchy neighborhood but I've come to enjoy the noise, occasional gun shots and tigueres.
Our neighbors backyard. Looks like the campo!
And just in case you thought I might not make friends, here's proof that I did!
