Miscellaneous pictures

This is a typical way Dominicans make a move - stack it up and go. My brother thought we were going to move this way when we moved in December. :-)
Regina is our ice cream queen. She LOVES ice cream. It is very expensive here - about $3.00 a pint - so we don't buy it very often. She was delighted when someone sent us money specifically for ice cream. We bought a 5 quart pail (for about $9.00), made our own, and enjoyed Frostees at Wendy's. Here is a very happy little girl with her prize 5 quart pail and tin of homeade ice cream.
A few weeks ago, we went to hold a service at Chucha's house. Chucha is 75 years old and has been very sick. In fact, she has terminal cancer. She has not been able to make it to church for the past few months, so we loaded up a group of people in our truck and took church to her. She was very grateful for the visit and perked up quite a bit while we were there. Pictured with Chucha and our children is her great-grandson.
Here is a man-made lake. :-) [It's really a mud puddle.] It shows why you need a good, tough vehicle in a country like this.
