This morning I was at the height of my flu while talking with my friend Alberto (he works as a teacher at one of our schools). He immediately caught on that I was sick and told me that I needed to drink "te de cebolla" (onion tea). I gave him a look of disgust and verbalized my thoughts by saying I was trying to get healthier. He laughed and told me that I needed to try it and that he would make for me if I would drink it. I figured I didn't really have anything to lose, so off he went to find the necessary ingredients: onion, sour orange leaves, and cinnamon. I was happily surprised that it tasted wonderful (although a tad sweet from the heaping amounts of sugar Josh added to it). With pleasure I drank the full glass of onion tea, which, if nothing else, made my throat feel much better.
It's days like these when I just love being in the Dominican Republic!
Here are some pictures that I took a few days ago... remember my new year's resolution of taking more pictures? Well these aren't anything special, they're more my experimental pics... but I had a lot of fun!

I love hearing different "home remedies" like that :) Hope you feel better!
Your pictures are SO great! I love your eye for things. And that you use your own last name to win at Scrabble ;)
Wow - nice first few entries. Like the focus variations, very cool
Home remedies are effective I could say. Take enough rest at home and drink more fluids, you'll be better sooner than expected. God bless!
