Paz Dispenser: mi fin de semana chulo
http://renata-paz.blogspot.com/2010/03/mi-fin-de-semana-chulo.html
I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I dispense paz (peace) in the form of computer education classes. And I blog about it. Monday, March 1, 2010. Mi fin de semana chulo. Oh, hello there! This weekend was a little more eventful, though! By the end of the women's curling gold medal match, we were all rooting for Canada, half in-love with Canada's skip. Saturday- February 27- marked the DR's Independence Day! I haven't eaten a biscuit in months and months, and it was delicious. Consistent...

First of all, thank you so much to all who have sent me letters, cards, and care packages! I can’t even tell you how exciting and meaningful it is to get mail down here. Here are a few more tips I’ve gleaned about handling the Dominican mail system:. Make sure you have the address right:. For letters or packages, it s...

Paz Dispenser: it's over!
http://renata-paz.blogspot.com/2010/09/its-over.html
I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I dispense paz (peace) in the form of computer education classes. And I blog about it. Friday, September 3, 2010. It occurs to me that I should update this to let everyone know that I'm done with the Peace Corps. My close-of-service date was May 7, and I flew home that day! I thought about trying to document my readjustment and reverse culture shock, but, well, I didn't. Did you enjoy the peace corps, was it difficult to get in? I think its more affo...

I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I dispense paz (peace) in the form of computer education classes. And I blog about it. Sunday, December 27, 2009. Simply having a wonderful christmastime. I hope everyone had a delightful Christmas! Free of my clever escape artist kitten, I went onto Santiago to meet with my friends Jen and Karina. We spent $3000 pesos (about $100 US- goes far in the DR) on groceries and went back to prepare a fabulous Christmas dinner! Hummus with carrot sticks.

I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I dispense paz (peace) in the form of computer education classes. And I blog about it. Sunday, February 21, 2010. 75 days, apparently. 75 days left in the DR. I'm sure when I get back to the US and start transitioning, there will be things that I miss about being here. Certainly I'll miss all my Peace Corps and DREAM friends. I'll miss being so close to the beach. I'll miss egg empanadas. Wednesday, February 10, 2010. They are very best when they are...

Paz Dispenser: care package how tos!
http://renata-paz.blogspot.com/2008/03/care-package-how-tos.html
I'm a Peace Corps volunteer in the Dominican Republic. I dispense paz (peace) in the form of computer education classes. And I blog about it. Friday, March 28, 2008. Care package how tos! Some very nice people have inquired about sending me care packages. If anyone would like to (no pressure), here are some tips:. Use a padded envelope, not a box. Envelopes are apparently less likely to be stolen. On the customs form, delcare it as a gift with a value of $0. Muchas gracias, amigos! Friends of the DR.

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! The Peace Corps party was great, but I got some kind of 24-hour bug and threw up all my vegetarian stuffing. And all four kinds of pie. Ughhhh. But mustn't dwell! We got some food and drinks and enjoyed the view. The sun set, and we continued to enjoy the view. Now my mom is at t...
