Soon I will be in my final month here in Sosua and will return to the states for three months April 1. Though I will miss Sosua and the life here, I am looking forward to getting back to the family for a few months. Also will enjoy the conveniences of life in the 'first world' that Americans take totally for granted. Three months in the states will be enough and then will return to Sosua the first part of July.

Life on the Streets

The fish guy.

The juice guy.

This nice lady has become a friend over the months. She sells emparadillas (at least that is what I call them). They are pastry-like turnovers filled with chicken and are very good and cost efficient at 10 pesos per turnover. Often after eating a big lunch at Susanna's, two or three of her emparadillas is enough to get me to bedtime.

This guy builds and sells mostly shelving for people's apartments.
