Now that you know we are both safe (thank you Marcos for calming my fears!) I can tell you a little bit more about Santo Domingo. I learned how to take the public transportation the other day, a little scary mostly because if i get lost i would have no idea how to find out where i was. My first day traving alone i found out later that my host dad followed me to class because he saw how worried i was before i left and he wanted to make sure i was ok. I thought that was nice! I have had an interesting tome trying to find my way but hopefully it will just get better from here!! I am still homesick but i really do like it here. I am glad that its not forever but i will have fun at least these first 6 weeks :o) i feel like i just need to get into the swing of things, i like it when i have rutine! so that will be nice. We have monday off classes to so i get to catch up on my sleep. Well thank you for your prayers for Marcos and I and I look forward to hearing from you, and I will get you know when we do more exciting things like go to the beach :o) I hope you are all well, and Andrea my family remembers you and they look forward to you’re coming here! I am with Betty and Ruben and their daughter Isabella. I think you were with a sister or brother maybe? anyway they told me they taught you to dance and they look forward to seeing you! So again, i hope you are all well!! Nos vemos…
