- One of the volunteers was in a bad motorcycle accident. Lori, who had just finished her two years here and decided to extend her service for a few more months to finish up a project in Puerto Plata, was riding a motor with her boyfriend at night. They crashed into a dog that was in the middle of the street, and her helmet wasn't fastened well and flew off. She was conscious but not in stable condition (she was only speaking in Spanish) at a hospital in Santo Domingo. She stayed there for about a week until she was stable enough to medical evacuate her to a hospital in the U.S. Please keep her in your prayers.
- On a much lighter note, one of the volunteers who came here with me in August is already engaged to her Dominican boyfriend! They met in November when she first arrived to her site, and immediately started dating. Peace Corps is currently doing the required paperwork and background check on the guy, and if all goes well they will be married by August.
- I have already booked a flight back home December 15-January 5. Write those dates down because I want to see everyone in those three short weeks!!
Daycare, abandoned house rules, beach trips.
