The Ashton School from the street
The main classroom building-the swimming pool is behind the tree and the blue fence there. Farther to the right is an open courtyard.
Alex with the school duck! Actually there are two. They understand Spanish and like to eat the ficus tree leaves....interesting.
Alex working at Joe's desk and my Emma blissfully hanging from a ficus tree near the lunch tables.
A plant nursery in our neighborhood that we pass on the way home from school and the colmado where we get our bottled water. A colmado is like a convenience store here but they deliver. Those are motorcycles with plastic crates on the back. You give them a call and they send a kid on a motorcycle with your water or whatever else you may want from the colmado! This is just down the street from our apartment. Oh, it also doubles as a little car lot :)
Our apartment building-we're the apt. on the top left and this is our street-that's Emma by the black car and Joe pushing the stroller. To the right is a salon and then the construction site.
Well, that's enough for tonight. Hope this gives you a better idea of what our teeny corner of Santo Domingo looks like! I have more, but I'll save them for later! Have a great day...
