And for Christmas... My 200th Blog Post

Merry Christmas, everyone. Happy 200th post, blog.
Photos taken last night for Christmas Eve.

Flowers at Jarabacoa

Flowers at a friend Angel's little resort called La Vida (perhaps, I wish I remembered) in Jarabacoa.

Musee Mecanique [The Mechanical Museum], San Francisco.

I'm not exactly sure what kind of game that first one is, but apparently it's an arcade game from some point in time when it was appropriate to abuse children? Nonetheless, sweet but creepy museum off of fisherman's wharf.


Also. I need ideas for upcoming photo projects. Such as religious conflict in Sarajevo and what not. If you know of something, or just want to tell me a sweet place to go, let me know. Thanks, I'm stumped.

The View.

Dominican Food

Just a few photographs I found recently of various food I ate in the Dominican Republic. The first one is a traditional breakfast plate while the second is the traditional lunch (or sometimes even dinner) plate. The last two are at a resort I had lunch at in Jarabacoa.

The Dominican Shower

So I thought I posted this blog a while back, but after looking through recent posts, it's not looking like I did. And while I have only one more week here (as of today, sad day!) I figure it's only appropriate to post some things I should have done months ago, little vignettes about life here.

So, this is the Dominican Shower: a bucket and some water. We frequently have running water although it is never warm, which is fine because it is so hot in the city. However, even when we do have the running water they opt to shower this way, which I think is the best way to shower. And, surprisingly enough, you only really need 1/2 the bucket. Go team Earth and the Dominican Republic.
