Sunday Kick Back and...

We all attended church this morning at Altagracia. What a wonderful experience to worship with some of the people we had worked with and some of the children. Pastor Julio gave the message. There was much singing and enthusiasm. 9:15am to 11:30am. (It is a 15 minute drive to the Casa).

Raced back to the Casa to wait for our lunch at 12:45pm.

Back in the van at 2pm to go to Altagracia to work on the latrines until 4pm. Raced back to the Casa to pick up some of the team members and off to sight see and the beach. 4pm to 6pm

Raced (literally, you should see how they drive here!) back and dinner was ready. A delicious meal of lasagna, salad, and fruit was served along with Coca Cola and Grape Soda.

That's how you kick back on a Sunday in the DR!

Seriously, we are excited with the progress the team is making in the building of the latrines as well as the building of the relationships with the villagers. As I write this, we can here the sounds of the protestors ramping up for tomorrows' one day protest against the government. We will not be leaving the COTN compound tomorrow so I get to do some fix-it work around here.
