Street Sightings!

The roads here are nuts, but some days feel more outlandish than others. Motorcycles are the main form of transportation in Jarabacoa. One moto can serve the whole family (and sometimes their aunts, uncles, and neighbors too!) It's not uncommon to see a moto with 5 people on it. Just last week I rode sandwiched between two other teachers on a moto to go visit a student's family. Three on a moto - no big deal right?

To give you a glimpse of the roads here, I'm putting a compilation of pictures of things regularly on our streets! Of course, there have been many more surprises, but pausing to take a picture while driving is virtually impossible and generally inadvisable. So here's what some friends and I have been able to gather!

There are no words for this truck.




Anyone need a toilet?


If so, he can bring you one on his moto!

Public transit?

Ladders are overrated. So are electricians....

I promise, there's a moto under there!

Walking his horse on a bike. 

New chore. Mowing the car.

Traffic jam.



And I thought I over pack!!



Rush hour traffic.



Washing machine


This made my commute a little harder.

Buy your bread on the go!
A small truckload of  cabbage.


Just a normal drive in the van :D
