I think some people were confused about my last post because of the photograph. To clarify, I am not in the DR yet; the hogar had emailed me some pictures of the land at my request, and I was so thrilled with the papayas that I had to post that photo. But I will be there in a few hours! I am sitting outside my gate at the Orlando international airport waiting to board my flight to Santo Domingo. I am sitting beside a number of Dominicans speaking their fast and bubbly caribbean Spanish. I don't understand every word the way I used to, and I'm realizing that my first few days there will be spent feeling lost and then regaining confidence in my Spanish. The reason I am in Orlando right now is ridiculous and funny and scary. More on this to come...
