Not settled yet. Here's a brief update. It was two weeks ago today that we arrived. So far we've been very low key. We are starting to make some contacts (there is a stunning number of Canadians here), but we haven't been rushing at anything. Folks we had lunch with today have been here 4 months, and said they are just starting to feel settled. Our current living arrangement is small, hot, and dark, so we are looking at another place on Saturday. Hopefully that will contribute to more of a homey feel, right now our place feels more like a resort room. Our barrels haven't arrived yet, so we only have the contents of our suitcases, they should arrive in the next couple of weeks. We have connected with an English speaking church with a pastor originally from Missouri, so far it seems like a nice group. We went into Cabarete today to check it out. Beautiful beach, but a very busy, noisy town. The community we are in is super tranquil in comparison. Tomorrow we plan to take a guagua into Sosua to do some shopping. Sooner or later we'll tackle buying a car, then driving. 😲 We are so thankful for the people we've met and their willingness to help and share experiences and info, they've been a huge help! I think that's it for now, I took a break writing this to go for a swim at the beach and now we're heading to "Crazy Ranch" for dinner! 😁
Wow! Pretty cool that you've found fellow Canadians and a church! I hope y'all get settled into a better place soon, you guys will be in my prayers.

Yes, very cool! There are a LOT of people leaving Canada. Many have relocated here. We actually looked online and found the church before leaving and connected with them once we got here.
 
I'm wearing the government spying device and not doing extra today. This thing has me so POed! I had a couple thousand steps before noon but then the durn thing reset. I'm at 5,500+ rn, but it's been a hectic day and I've been driving here and there for goats. Lots of car time, not the best way to start off step counting.

Oh my gosh!! I love your stories. How many animals do you have? :bow
I’m envious!! I love my chickens more than most people 😱

I have goats, cows, piggies, guinea fowl, ducks, chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, and hopefully I'll have a snake and a rat or two in the future. I've also had fish, hamsters and guinea pigs (aka cavies, I used to breed the teddy bear kind).

With that many species your every day is more than my extra extra! I only have about 40 chickens and 2 dogs and feel like I can barely keep up - I just relocated 8 hens that I had in 2 separate pens (lots of driving there along with work trips) - my chicken life is so much easier now.
 
Not sure how I'm supposed to finish my booty workout if the cat decides it's a great place to sleep.

Also, I need to get a yoga mat. I do a lot of workouts on the floor and it's not the most comfortable.
