Fall in the Dominican!

FALL!! Fall is probably the thing that we miss the most while living here in the Dominican. We miss the apples, the fall leaf colors, the orchards, the caramel, the cider, bonfires, the cool sweatshirt weather, football, and many other things. You see...it is never fall here. It feels like a never ending summer. Who would have thought that one could ever get tired of summer?

Well, we tried to make the best of our situation this year and I would say that we have had a pretty good fall this year. We get apples every week at the grocery (even though they are a little bit expensive) and Jon's mom sent us caramel so that we could have caramel apples. We got to have hot apple cider last week at a teacher fall party. We have even been able to watch several COLTS games on TV this year. It has been quite an eventful "fall" season. We have included a few pictures of our last few weeks here in the Dominican Republic during our "fall" season. The first one is a picture of the boys that I (Becki) tutors eating my pumpkin cookies that I made (thanks to Elaine for sending the pumpkin). The next picture is of Jon and I dressed up like old people for a fall costume party that we went to. The last picture is of a Halloween lunch that was made for us by a dear dear new friend of ours named Akari (She is from Japan and one of the most creative people I have ever met.) Please take notice of all the amazing Halloween details she put into it. The thing in the back right is suppose to look like a hand coming out of the ground. It is really just sausage coming out of eggs. Enjoy!
