Normally, I'm guessing I won't have time to blog everyday, but at the request of my father, I'm attempting another little entry today. (I suppose since it is at the request of my father, it should be in español, but I'll get there eventually ;). So, here are some Dominican cows for you. They are just hanging out near the base. We walked up a super steep hill to get to this super incredible view over Jarabacoa and we could see the mountains in the distance, but the picture I took there didn't capture the beauty well enough, so you'll have to wait until I get a better picture to see that.
This morning Raul taught us a little Dominican history-sociology lesson and Katie (I get to work at my preschool with her) translated since our group ranges widely in Spanish-speaking abilities. But, the exciting thing was, since he broke it up into sections for her to translate I was able to understand lots of it before she translated. The Dominican accent is so hard to understand sometimes, but I LOVE it.
Tonight, after a scavenger hunt to get us better acquainted con la ciudad, we ate at Pica Pollo. Deliciousness. I guess its kinda like Dominican fast food, but we got chicken strips, fried plantains, and chinola, this wonderful passionfruit juice.
And, I just got kicked off the internet, so hopefully this is already saved and I can post in the morning.
