Hola from the DR!!!
Here are a few pictures of us playing as we toured the city Sunday afternoon.
The picture to the left is our group in oldest church in the New World. It is now being used as a museum for the city holding some tombs of famous people who served in the DR.
We found out from our hotel hostess that the building we are staying in was built in 1504 and she bought it in the early 70's, restored it and after several businesses is now running a hotel, and art Gallery in it. We are staying right in the old city, less than a block from the first church in the Americas. It's been amazing!!!
The picture at the top is of the group just before we went to dinner at a Dominican restaurant. It was really fun trying the food. Steve and I tried the Monfongo which is made of plantain and fried pork.
The picture under that is of our translators at another evening restaurant. Their names are Odile, Nicole, Yanelis, Aleeny and Milaura. They are so much fun and the students are really enjoying getting to know them. They are finding out that they have a great deal in common as teens are pretty much the same in every culture.
The last two pictures are of the some of the students at the first jail in the America's. We won't tell why Jonathan and Jackson were locked up and Elijah was trying to post bail! :o)
Today we are off to our first day of play at the beach. We hope to check in again soon!
Many thanks again for your love, support and expecially prayers!
With love and gratefulness,
Sue for the DR Team
