Never Alone

As it turns out, you're never alone when it comes time to get something done in the DR. We picked up some paint at La Sirena (It's like Walmart) because we decided to paint a few of our walls. Kisha knew someone who had some paint brushes and rollers, so she went out to find them. She was gone for a while, but when she came back she had two of our friends wielding everything necessary for a huge paining project. 5 minutes later 2 of their friends showed up, and then it was just riotous. They had the place painted in no time, and it was just a great reminder that we're not here by ourselves.

Everyone, from every culture, loves power tools... even Bau!

Just a few things left to do before we take the photos of the completed house. We're waiting on an IKEA couch, and have to go find a kitchen table. And most importantly, THEY ARE INSTALLING AN INVERTER AS WE SPEAK!!! It's amazing that we made it a week without 24 hour power, but I have a new appreciation for electricity. Even with all the camping and whatnot, I'm still VERY used to plugging things into the wall and getting results.

Chaio for now!
