Santo Domingo


Many Peace Corps volunteers have cited Santo Domingo as one of the sketchier towns in Ecuador. But, I have to admit it has a certain charm. As we passed a sparkling fountain making our way into the town, I remarked on it’s beauty. My friend Ariana - whose site is near Santo Domingo - preceded to inform me that Santo Domingo has a water shortage problem, but is planning on building more fountains. Hmmmm..... Anyway this week I gave a talk to some of the new kids on the block - volunteer trainees. He he some of you actually thought I gave a talk to the group NKB. Youngsters reading this are asking WHO? Sorry, hanging out with myself I have developed a humor disorder. Things I think are funny no one else does! Oh well. So I came up to Cayambe and talked to the group. Then I decided since I was already out of my site and had taken a 14 hour bus ride to get up north I might as well take some time and visit some of the other volunteers. It has been a fun week. Today Ariana and I are heading out to our friend Lindsay´s site.
