Clinic in Maranatha

These pictures are from a clinic in Maranatha. I donated 1,ooo US dollars to them from the money we raised at DominicanKids.com. Paypal would only let me transfer 500 US dollars a month for some reason so I had some money left which went here. .

It was nice to get these pictures via email. It is nice to see the money helping some kids now instead of waiting for the other clinic to be built. I have some more money I am going to take out of paypal next month that will also go here.

.

This clinic is run by missionaries from the States. They seem to be doing a nice job. When I visited there were many many people lined up for care.

.

Until the new dental clinic gets built in Puerto Plata I am going to be raising some money for this place. If anyone wants to contribute you can drop the money by QuiXotes Restaurant in Sosua, Dominican Republic. I would also be happy to take you to the clinic to see where your money is going.

.

They can also use some volunteers to do crowd control so if anyone has some time on their hands Tuesday and Thursday afternoon let me know.

.

Business has really picked up at the restaurant. Now even the slow days are good days. I guess we finally hit the high season. At least if I have to be there I want to be busy and it is BUSY now.

.

Hasta Pronto!

My man Rellosk has hit the DR!

I picked him up on Friday and he is leaving tomorrow. I miss the SOB already. Good thing is he can't stay away so he will probably be back in a month!

.

We went to eat at a few restaurants and hung out. We didn't hang out enough but it was great to see him.

.

Pictured with him is the Girlfriend/wife of the week who is a cutie! It was nice hanging out with her also.

.

Come back Soon EDD!

.

Hasta Pronto!

View from my finca

The first picture is of two Cashew trees. I didn't know it was a cashew tree and threw out the nut and ate the fruit:) live and learn!

. It is in flower now and I should get a lot of fruit and nuts off of this baby. Two trees side by side.

. The last time the fruit was the sweetest smelling fruit I have ever smelled and I am looking forward to it. The cashew is above the fruit and is green and the fruit is a nice red.

.

The next one is a fan palm. If you look behind that bad boy or girl as the case may be you will see a offspring which we transplanted. It will grow real fast! .

Next picture is a hedge row I started as tiny tiny. I have three different hedge rows in three different colors of the same plant .

In one year they will be twice the size! It is amazing how fast things grow here. When I take people to see the finca who have been here before they can't believe how beautiful it is the following year.

.

The last picture is of a flowering tree I don't know the name of but the leaves are purple on one side and green on the other. Big Balls of pink flowers every year that are just magnificent.

.

Hasta Pronto!
