I just wanted to send you all a quick note that I have safely arrived in the Dominican Republic. My flight into Santiago was delayed for a day, but for once the airline put me up in a hotel room and I didn't have to sleep at the airport. It was actually pretty exciting to have my first free hotel room---with my choice of fluffy white beds! One of the school staff picked me up from the airport and I am staying with the director and her husband at their lovely home in the mountains before I move in with a local family. I will probably move in with the family the school found for me tomorrow. I feel safe and well feed---I had oatmeal and mangoes for breakfast with fresh organic grown coffee!! Yum! The director even has a cute kitten named Buster whom promptly curled up on my lap and started purring when I picked him up. I miss all of you very much, but am feeling affirmation in my choice to come here by the wonderful people I will be working with.
I hope you are all well and I will try to post some pictures later this week.
