Hurricane Isaac came over the southern Dominican Republic on Friday evening and caused some damage in nearby villages. La Hoya and Copa were very lucky, apart from some felled trees and a great deal of water, there was no damage and school was able to start again on Tuesday. There's still some worries about possible flooding but the rain seems to have passed and we seem safe for now.
Aside from the excitement of a hurricane, Becky and I have been enjoying sampling Dominican food and exploring the village of La Hoya. Everyone has been very welcoming and my Spanish is fast improving with constant use.
To everyone who is reading this or has been linked here recently, I apologise profusely for the lack of long posts! Hurricane Isaac has disrupted all rhymes of normal life, so we're still getting back into the swing of things. I hope having power back after Isaac means I will be able to make some substantial posts!
Hope to talk to everyone soon,
Bethany
