What’s Next After DREAM
I’m writing this post from Prague, Czech Republic, where I am spending the year studying. It’s getting cold here – the leaves are changing color, and the people on the streets are bundled up in scarves and wool coats. As you can imagine my life in Prague is very different from the sunny, tropical year I spent in the Dominican Republic! Instead of pollo frito con habichuelas (fried chicken with beans), I eat knedlíky (stuffed potato dumplings). Instead of jugo de chinola (passion fruit juice), I drink fermented burčák (young wine). I’m content here in Europe, but there are many moments when I miss the warm and vibrant community of Cabarete.
