I am taking a cue from Maine Girl and Chirimoya and posting this thread to announce my new blog, which can be found here.
I hope this is the right place for it. I wont be posting updates, just wanted to make a general announcement. The blog will deal with a variety of dominican topics, and whatever else might arouse my curiosity, but the catch is it is all written in Spanish, the purpose of which is to force me to work more intensively and repeatedly in the language. So those of you who speak Spanish, and there are many on the board, feel free to point out all my errors! To date there are three short articles, one that deals with travel in general, one on the bateys (course, but there wont be much of that), and one about 9/11, which I covered. There will be subsequent pieces on trees, on language, on food, on history, on vod?, on all sorts of things Dominican.
And for those of you who dont read Spanish, I also have begun to post a series of travel essays on my website, so you can read about conchos, velorios, or the colonial zone by clicking here, which will take you to the travel essays index.
