Angela sums up the weekend
Authored By:
Hola from Santo Domingo!
Our first weekend in the Dominican Republic has already come and gone! Tonight we will hear from Angela who gives us a great summary of her weekend!
"This weekend we went to Isla Saona! The water was extremely clear and everyone loved the refreshing wind that blew as the boat went faster and faster! At the island, I tried a coconut for the first time and took many pictures with friends in front of the huge palm trees. On Sunday, I spent some time with my host family and then had chocolate waffles at a nearby cafe. Later on, I went to the movies to see Cars 3 in Spanish with Ellie, Caitlyn, and Gennie. It was confusing at times but Ellie managed to translate for me. Then, I ended the day with a large bowl of ice cream!"
Angela sums it up pretty well! Saturday was spent on Isla Saona and today was a free day for the students to spend with host families and get to know Santo Domingo a little more! Tomorrow we are back to our service site.
