Shortly after takeoff on Wednesday night it started. It began with the chanting of of prayers by some lady on the flight. It lasted about 20 minutes. She must have been one of the few dominicans on the flight, because when we landed only a few people cheered. Generally the plane erupts with cheers and clapping on safe arrival. Wednesday night was pretty uneventful. Since I was with Steph, most guys left her alone or were only mildly creepy. I was beginning to be let down by the dominican republic but then shortly after showering on thursday the power went out for most of the day. Steph and I had our first grocery store experience together here, we survived! Halfway through cooking our chicken tacos we ran out of gas. So we went out for empanadas! All in all we've been having a great time and I'm really glad I'm here, especially after watching CNN this morning and seeing how cold it is in the states. Tonight we may go to the baseball game, it's the last one of the season and we're planning on going to the capital tomorrow. You can call us for free at 989.941.0566. It's a Michigan area code.

i'm bitter at you. right now my computer says is 11 degrees in towson
I second that with a nasty "feels like 2 degrees" in Boston. I guess what that really means is I hope you guys eat an extra empanada and spend a few extra minutes outside on my behalf :) I'm looking forward to more posts!
That's funny about people clapping when the plane lands because I totally remember the same thing happening when my family took charter to flights to Greece and the whole plane was filled with Greek people!
Wow, and your apartment looks so nice! It's great to catch a glimpse of where you're living! =)
