So im still in La Vega. Yesterday we went to Ortega and another location to visit 2 more current volunteers. It was pretty interesting, one is working on promoting the artisan craft of faceless porcelain dolls. Its a lot cooler than it sounds. Its a Dominican-only tradition. I will try to get a few to bring home or if anyone comes to visit. They are something else. Then the other volunteer is building a basketball court! that is something i could definitely see myself doing. For dinner we ate chicken on the side of the road. Literally a random man with a smoker. I thought for sure i would regret it, but aside from some abdominal discomfort last night, all seems to be well. Today we are going to San Francisco, lol, ya, and tomorrow Santiago, which is supposed to be the greatest city in all the DR. Meeting a couple more volunteers there. Pretty excited.
The volunteer who i am visiting is named Cash, and he has running water! We get electricity maybe 2 hours a day, but i have been able to flush the toilet!!! what a treat!
Well anyways, we are packin up to go to San Fran.
Love and Miss you guys
Hi Joe, So good to hear this report. I am so glad you had the opportunity to travel to these sites. Dad is doing brackets if you can believe it. His percentage was 69%. Today is not as good. I still pick Duke to Win it.
