This Friday Bethany arrived and I was ecstatic. Since she is only here for one month, we decided to make the most of our first weekend and got John, the other American here, to take us to the beach. It was so much fun! Since, obviously, none of us have cars, we first took the guagua (the public bus here in Santo Domingo) down to another bus that took us to the beach. In all, our bus fee to the beach was only $1.50… not bad! Although it took us quite a while to get there, we had an interesting experience being squeezed in a van of sweaty people, ourselves included! But it was worth it, the beach was beautiful! Here are some photos of our day!
(You were right Jer, you do have to be careful taking pictures at the beach so that you don't get any topless girls!) ha
After the beach, we took another bus and unintentionally ended up at the colonial. It’s beautiful… (Grandma and Grandpa, I think you should come here!!!) We caught the lowering of the flag at the Puerta de Misericordia... which was super cool. Then we walked around some cute shops and I bought Kate’s first Birthday present. (Kate, you’re going to love it, I’m going to wear it until I mail it to you!) haha
That night we went to Erica’s house (who is a girl who works in the school) for a party. She had this cool computer program that took our pictures.. check it out... haha
