So it is day 2 in the Dominican Republic! Today i woke up at about 10:00 we were in the town of Jarabacoa. We stayed with a sister named Nicole who was house sitting for a couple.THe house was really nice it had three bedrooms and two bathrooms.So we got up and went to the town it's a nice mix of griminess and beauty. we went to eat at a restaurant where they served mangoo(which was smashed green boiled plantains) a great potato salad( russa), roasted chicken and eggplant and a papaya milkshake. It was so good. THen we looked around the town and then drove back home took a nap and then got ready for the meeting.
Yesterday was the best day because we met up with nicole and then we went hiking in Jarabacoa to see this amazing waterfall which they used in the movie Jurassic Park.The beginning of the hike was so steep and i had a rough time starting out but then the ground kind of leveled out and it was a it easier. the waterfalls were beautiful and the water was really cold. But it was great! so after the hike we went back to nicoles place and took showers and talked and ate. Roscio made hot chocolate from scratch. Which was also great. Oh yeah when we were at the beach there was another group of people there and they were grilling up some food. So the lady walks over and offers us some pork and rice and beans. That pork was delicious.
Tomorrow is service in the field and hopefully we can go to the beach!
