It's time to start blogging, I have decided. Too much is going on in my life to not jot it down.
Today is a holiday called Dia de Juan Pablo Duarte (Juan Pablo Duarte Day). He was one of the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic. Due to the dia de fiesta (holiday), school was not in session. So, we took a little trip out to the bateys (poor banana farming plantations in the countyside) and did an activity with the children there.
The rec station made a make-shift bowling alley and rolled the time away while the reading group made a make-shift library and read till their little hearts were content. I chose to be in the craft group, and we made the blingin'-est pony bead/yarn bracelets one will ever lay eyes on!
Below is a picture of my friend, Rafael, workin' away on his pulsa (bracelet).
