So Far...

This has been a great trip. I am so thankful that I was able to come!!!

Friday was a long day. We got up at 2:00am and went to bed around 12:00am... In Miami we met up with Anna Blair and Andres who are also on the trip with us we rode from the airport to the hotel in a taxi van to say the least it was an experience...Whew.. Once we arrived in Santo Domingo and headed to the hotel. Relaxed for a little while then met a new lady named Jane who is amazing!! We met some of her clients for Dinner.. It was a great dinner, full 6 or 7 courses ... We were stuffed at the end.. Then we hung out for awhile outside..

Saturday we met for breakfast, then headed out to tour Santo Domingo. We rode their new subway up the city walked around that area and it was interesting the street vendors had everything out you would ever want. After that we rode the subway back to the hotel area. Cooled off and then met Father Phil, another of Jane's friends picked us up and took us the other end of the city and we walked along the road by the shore. We then went around the Colonial City "the old city" it was very interesting.. A lot of culture, we saw Christopher Columbus' brother house it was really neat and full of original pieces... We also went to the Cathedral it was gorgeous! After that tour we stopped at the Super Market to pick up a few items... Then we walked back to the hotel, which was quite a haul for me anyway.... Once back at the hotel the rest of the group was there we freshened up and headed to dinner..

Dinner was delicious at Adrian Tropical on the shore! Then back to the hotel, hung out and to bed!!!

I'll post more when I have time to..

Please pray for our group as we go out tomorrow for the first time.
