Thank You

To anyone who is still reading this blog: Thank you. Thank you for listening and reading during my two years of Peace Corps service in the Dominican Republic. I have been back in the states for a week exactly today, and so far most things seem normal. Peace Corps kept warning us about "reverse culture shock," which does happen every time I drink straight out of the faucet. However, home is home, and it is a wonderful feeling to be back here with my family and friends.

I miss the DR a lot already, and I know that will only continue to grow. But I am comforted by the fact that my two years there will be with me forever; guiding my conscious and ideals and always pushing me to do the best for all those around me. La Caya and all its people will always have a big place in my heart, and I will never forget how fortunate I am to have lived in that community and to have become a community member, even if it was for a brief moment in time.

No matter where I am or what I am doing, Cayera Soy, and I couldn't be happier or more proud to mean it.
