Just Chillin'

OK so first of all I FINALLY GOT SOME PICTURES UPLOADED so check out my facebook. The pictures on there are just the ones off my camera but I’ll get a bunch more pictures from other people to bring home.

The rest of yesterday was as relaxing as expected. Sitting on the beach, burgers for lunch, swimming in the ocean/pool. For dinner we went to this Mexican restaurant, which was delicious. I got a duck quesadilla! We went back to the room for a post-dinner nap before going out for some dancing or pool or whatever. Things didn’t exactly work out that way, though. I got into bed for the nap around 9:30 and didn’t get out of bed until 12 hours later.

Breakfast today was as wonderful as yesterday. The day was, again, spent relaxing. We went for a long walk on the beach and played some water polo. There has been a lot more eating too of course. I’m also getting to practice my Spanish! We’re planning for a late dinner and not much else. Tomorrow we’re headed to the capital, Santo Domingo, where we’ll hang around the city all day then crash at a hostel near the Zona Colonial, or Colonial District which has lots of good food, music, shopping, and cultural stuff. Then Tuesday it's back on the bus to Haiti.

This trip has been absolutely wonderful so far – I’m just letting my body and mind completely rest. I do, however, have to say that I am looking forward to going back to Haiti. I miss HODR people and, crazy as it may sound, I miss rubble!

Hope you’ve all had a relaxing weekend!

Love,

Daniel
