Vacations!!

We are on vacation (15 days off) of course we wont be here the whole 15 work days, we'll spend our free time between Los Cacaos and the city (can you tell we are attached to the place).

Our year working there is coming to an end, but we decided to stay for a couple of more month to finish the health project in the community, that will make it easier for future doctors that come and hopefully doctors will keep coming. Los Cacaos is 2 hours away from the big hospital so having doctors right there is really important!!

Yesterday we loaded our car with boxes of milk and meds left from the medical operative we had and went up in the mountain to give it to the people that were unable to come to the operative. We went as far as the vehicule allowed us and then I started going house through house, people were SO happy to recieve this things :)

Today we are back in the city and I had Yaroa for dinner (then I ask myself why I dont loose the weight!). Yaroa is a dump dish originated in the north of DR :) made of either french fries or yellow plantain, your choice of meats, special sauce, mayonaise, ketchup and melted cheese, it is ohhh so YUMMY!The picture does no justice to this delish Dominican dish :) If you ever visit me I will buy you one myself and you will thank me forever ;)

His win...

Bayohan bought a new toy...He wins!
But I sadly lost my husband...

At Los Cacaos...

We had a huge medical operation (operative or however it is called) at Los Cacaos, a group of doctors came from Puerto Rico and we had tons of donations for the people that went, 110 boxes filled with food, clothes, toys and milk for kids, we worked all day but were so happy!

I didnt took a lot of pictures but here are a few...There were over 1000 people there :)My sweet Bayohan with one of the doctors that came.

I still have a lot of milk and baby cereal left that I am giving to my patients that couldnt make it that day :)

We are really grateful for all of this!!

Wikipedia

I am on Wikipedia, well not me but a link to my blog is :)
While looking at my statcounter I noticed people where coming in from Wikipedia!!!!
Someone put a link on my blog for my recipe of Habichuelas con Dulce, it is under references, link 4 called recipe, check it out!
I feel special, lol, I KNOW, I am silly like that!!

Horray!!!

I finally finished all my behind scrapbooking projects :) I am so happy!!
I was supposed to finish them on december (I KNOW!!) but the miscarriage took my mood away.
Also happy because my body decided to work after a long 71 day cycle.
Is a good day!

FFF- Drama for your Mama

No drama here... is just the only black and white picture I have available on my laptop, and now that I really look at it is not even black and white is actually sepia, sigh!

But I am to lazy to get a different one, and this picture I treasure a lot, it was taken when I was 17 years old.

Hope you like it!

Crismairys Photo Op

In Los Cacaos you could count with one hand the amount of people that own a camera :/ So Crismairy's mom asked me to take some pics of her, of course I agreed, after all the girl already got me wrapped around her tiny hand!

I am not an expert photographer, most of my pics are plain regular, but she was happy with the end result :) We took pics in different outfits until we where sure the baby will need a psychiatrist when she grows up!
