We are here!

I am typing on  a laptop that is having trouble.  It needs some keys cleaned and some are in the ¨wrong¨place so forgive me the typing errors!

We arrived yesterday after a four hour flight to Atlanta, a two hour layover and a four hour flight to the DR with a long wait on the ground before getting off it!  Then we picked up our stuff,got an ice cream and then took a four hour trip to where we re doing the work in Bahrona. 

We are staying in a place called Casa Bethesda which is  a lovely place in the middle of the town.  We were very grateful to get some sleep last night.  The power kept cutting out for a while and as our room has no windows, it got hot rather rapidly.   After a while, we got to sleep and slept rather soundly!  Imagine that!

Today we toured the Bateys or villages and saw what we have to work with.  We have things to overcome but it is all workable.  The people have been very friendly and kind.  The kids love me of course since I am such a rarity bearded and heavy to boot.

Tomorrow we get to the real work and hopefully some pictures to boot!
