I've Arrived

I don't have much time to post since the work day is almost over, but I've arrived safely in Santo Domingo.

Unforatunately, I had a horrible experience leaving Luanda, a sotry that merits its own post, which I will try and write soon.

So far, the DR is great. My coworkers are extremely nice and friendly- every other word out of their mouth is a la orden, or "at your service." The biggest change, apart from the time zone, is the language. In spite of all my years of speaking Spanish, in many ways I feel Portuguese has set me back several levels! I'll catch up, hopefully.
