Day Four

Today is Sunday and we woke to beautiful sunshine, the morning was relaxed, Leona's church starts at 4 in the afternoon and goes to after 6, so its kind like 2 services in one.
Baked some cookies to take to Carmens house, she invited us for lunch. Lunch was very tasty typical Dominican, rice, mixtures of peas, (their peas are more like a bean) apotato salad and stewed chicken,mmm delicious. After that we visited some people in that neighborhood, houses are right tight together and a lot of them in a small space. All very similar made out of concrete blocks with tin roof. The picture of the one lady with one of her 10 children ,they too are in very close quarter, one boy sleeps at Angelo's house because of the lack of space. I was surprised how clean things were this time, everything looked swept up where ever we walked, maybe because of all the rain they had.
We also visited a man who was in a motorcycle accident 4 years ago and badly broke his leg, he still is unable to walk and lays on the couch all day. He still has an open wound but it is healing. Things do seem to take longer here.
It is now 7:45 and we are back from church and getting ready to barbecue outside there behind the gazebo in the picture, which is in the back of the house where we are staying.
a few of Leona's friends are here too so a real party happening.
Tomorrow will be our first work day at the school so will keep you informed on how that goes. Till then take care and do drop us a comment, look forwar to hearing from some of you.
