So I'm trying out this new thing it's called "Jogging" or Yogging, might be with a soft J, apparently you just get together with a group and run for 20 minutes. Its supposed to be wild. Haha. I suck at it but I try to keep up with all the other runners and so far I've done it 2 days in a row. Yeah!


Yesterday we had a shopping day and it was so much fun. We went to the neighboring town called Hato Mayor because there is no supermarket in our town. I bought some of my basic necessities: Peanut butter, mac and cheese, yogurt drink, cereal, pair of new sandals and a volleyball. Haha. The purpose of the trip was to buy stuff to cook which we did but I definitely slipped in my chance to get some treats for the rest of my stay.

Today we got to cook all the stuff we bought which was delicious. We cooked ground beef tacos, pico de gallo and I made my mom's spanish rice which turned out great! I was so excited. I think I could have made the rice a bit more savory but I learned from my mistakes and I can;t wait to try again. I need to continue with these cooking lessons because I don;t know how to cook much and my resources here are very limited. If any of you guys know simple easy recipes, let me know! Preferably things that are healthy and not expensive!

Now it's time to focus on my next assignment: Next week I have to teach a computer class to sme of the locals on Tuesday. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I was just trying to round up some 9 year old girls and my spanish failed. Haha. I don;t know how I am going to do this but I will succeed. Wish me luck! Oh if you guys know any good educational sites let me know. Help me!
