As you may expect, we don't have a telephone at our house here in the DR. We do have the next best thing, Skype! It is basically a telephone in our computer. We have a telephone number that anyone can call and if you have Skype on your computer we can talk for free! We also have a answering machine service with it so, if we can't answer the computer you can leave a message. Somedays it works better than others. If we have a really good internet connection we can even use the video camera and see who ever we are talking to. It is pretty amazing and makes it a little easier to be so far away when we can see our family and friends every once and awhile.
