At last, I’m posting a new entry. My apologies for those who have been wondering why I haven’t posted in so long. I suppose it’s a combination of laziness, boredom and hanging in limbo about the new job. After several roadblocks, the Yankee job is finally a go! I leave Montana at 7:30 a.m. this coming Tuesday, the 19th, arriving in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic around 9 p.m.
The Yankee baseball campus is completely shut down until the 10th of October, so the club is putting me up in a hotel until then. I won’t be idle, though. Supposedly, I’ll be doing some work with a few of the local universities and with the Cultural Affairs section of the U.S. Embassy. I promise I’ll keep the blog updated, depending on when I can get an Internet connection.
I arrived back in the States on Sept. 3, but before then I was mainly hanging out in Vientiane, Laos and in Bangkok. There’s not much I’m going to write about those weeks, except to say that, as usual, the time spent in both places was fun, interesting and exciting. Laos was very rainy, torrentially so at times. Bangkok’s weather was more mild, some rain, but mainly partly cloudy. I always love my time in Thailand, but I’ll be happy to get back to work so I can pay off the bills I ran up. I’ll go through my photos and post some of the better ones soon, hopefully. More later.
