The apartment complex down my lovely avenue Enriquillo is called Kury V. Many nice and some crazy people live there. These wonderful residents have graciously hosted two roof parties that provided breath-taking views of the Carribean Sea and the bottoms of many, many grande Presidente bottles. I just met a teacher from Seattle named Betty who learned to speak Spanish at the Las Margaritas on the corner of Aurora and 145th, 4 blocks from my house -- she's my new buddy. Pictured above is a photo with my colleague Paul who was just teaching in Croatia and is very much what his t-shirt advertises, but we like him anyway.
BTW, Ailing and Salvador arrived safely last week, and one of them is rumored to be the new Carol Morgan middle school volleyball coach...
