I got back to my site today after almost a week in Santo Domingo where I attended a conference to present my diagnostic and work on my 1 year project plan.
My last night in the capital I went to see the new Harry Potter movie, and had pizza and beer for dinner. It was a great end to my trip.
I brought a ton of goods back to my community. I now have a dutch oven which I can use to make quick breads and brownies on the stove top. I also have a sleeping bag, some wash tubs for dishes, a collection of children's stories, a stock of lactose free milk and a loaf of wheat bread.
The book caused quite a frenzy. After I saw their excitement I decided I want to create a library here.
The toilet was installed yesterday in my latrine, it is amazing. My neighbors and I all gathered around to awe at it's greatness.
A truck came around today selling chickens. I couldn't help but get one. It is staying in my neighbor's chicken coop until I construct one. It is still pretty young. I'll let you know when I have my first egg.
Needless to say it has been an exciting and exhausting day. I am ready to relax tomorrow and bake some brownies to share with everyone.
