Stepping Out of the Boat. You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore. Monday, November 27, 2006. Here is a hint: there were surprisingly a lot of Europeans there who liked to relax a little more openly then we did. Like I said at the beginning it was an overall nice restful weekend vacation. We both agree that if it would have been any other 4 day vacation it would have been great but just the idea that it was Thanksgiving and we were feeling a little h...

Stepping Out of the Boat. You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore. Wednesday, July 26, 2006. The Mystery of the County Fair. On Tuesday night, we went to the Monroe County Fair with my parents, an event we had both been looking forward to. The allure of the fair has always been a mystery to me - but this year, the mystery completely baffled me. All evening, these two questions riddled my mind: Why do people like competing in the fair? All things consider...

With only three free weekends left in our stay here, we decided we needed to check some things off our to-do list. Marte. After school on Friday, we went with him to enjoy the pool, have a snack, and John even got to play a few games of basketball. He took his basketball shoes home when we went to Robby's. It was a dance club for dancing - not for all the other thi...

Stepping Out of the Boat. You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore. Sunday, May 20, 2007. A Weekend Full of Fun (and Sweat). Kari's twin brother, Jason, came to visit this weekend, so we all tried to show him a good time. It was a busy, sweaty weekend, but it was fun. We're getting to the point when we want to try to get everything in before we leave. We're counting the days until we get to come home (five weeks! Degrees cooler, but the humidity was three...

Stepping Out of the Boat. You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore. Thursday, June 29, 2006. It's Just Stuff. Right? Gramma Verch came to hang out for a while. We tried to stay in the garage when the sun got too hot. We tried not to look intimidating to the people looking at stuff. Occasionally, one of us would try to be a salesman. It worked 25% of the time. In one day, we sold about half of our belongings. Everything was pretty much gone by 2:00 pm.

Stepping Out of the Boat. You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water." -Rabindranath Tagore. Saturday, September 30, 2006. We drove back into the countryside by groups of small shacks where the poor live. Every so often, we'd pass a large gate where a larger and nicer house (we presume) is located. Maria's house is not finished, not furnished, and not quite ready, but it will be nice once it's done. Here's a picture:. We spent quite a bit of time outside in this little hut thing&...

Like the title says, there is no such thing as a boring three day weekend here in the Dominican. Republic. We took this weekend to explore a part of the island that we had yet to discover, Cabarete.
