Ok so it has been awhile since I wrote on here. Aaron and Erika are gone now but they had to stay a few days in puerto plata because there were a bunch of storms and flights were cancelled and all that fun. But before they left we went surfing one more time, it's actually really fun and quite a workout! Then the day before they left Aaron rented a bike and the 4 of us rode to Samana, a town about an hour through the country side and over the mountains to the other side of the peninsula it was an awesome day! Just seeing the people along the way and were they live and the life style. It was a pretty cool ride. And Samana actually does not have too many visitors so they really notice the white people when they come into town, oh and the food is way cheaper too, Bonus!!
So the last week has been rainy off and on and we've just been living life and trying not too look too much like the bus loads of euro tourists that come into town on fridays, with their bright orange wrist bands and evil white ways, haha. Ben made a good point, when you go into town even if it's really hot wear jeans so it looks like you a little chilly and a "local." I think you might not get ripped off as much or something, I dunno.
Ok so the puppy, I guess lots have seen her on facebook already. So anyway this is what happened. I went out to get grocieries and for some reason the market was closed, ou really can't count on anything being open certain times between ciesta 1pm to 3:oopm, and the owners of shops just deciding that they don't want to work that day. Anyway so I went to the beach and just rode around for awhile and went back to see if the market was open. It still wasn't so I decided to go home. On the way home I'm riding along the street and I see this scranny littl puppy being chased by a group of kids. They chased him into and ally and started to throw rocks at her. I quickly pulled over and asked what was going on. There was a man there and he said she was no good and he gestured that they would kill her. So I asked if it was thier puppy and they said no. So I grabbed the puppy and put herin my back pack and rode off as they stode there laughing at me. So I brought her home and we cleaned her up and got her some food and water. Then me and Ben took her to the vet the next day and the vet was an italian guy, really nice, and gave us free worm medicine and gave her free shots. Not bad! So we are nursing her back to health, she weighs 1.6 pounds right now, but hopfully wil put on weight. And then we'll see what happens, but I think chopper needs a little sister, I think I just got a very strong feeling of Dale rolling his eyes, but thats ok ; ) Anyway, time for bed so talk to all of you later!! Oh yeah her name is chiquita.
