Here is Jeff getting gas for the van. We had a three hour drive to get to Barahona where we are teaching the NRT courses. See the guard with the BIG gun. I wondered if we will start seeing similiar scenes at our gas stations.
We were driving along and I noticed the baby feet coming out from under the Mom's jacket. So sad...no helmits any where. Everyone is on motorbikes.
Pretty poor areas we drove through. Here is someone selling bananas from the front yard. Below is a chameleon on a branch. He blended in pretty well with the greenery. I woke up this morning and saw some climbing around in our room on the wall. Oh and last night and dinner we watched some rats run by our table. You eat outdoors here. Repeat after me, we are not in Kansas any more. Our toilet does not work, the dresser is busted, no hot water, the blow dryer does not work. I am feeling a bit grumpy this morning can you tell. However it is a stunningly beautiful place and the group we are teaching is great. Those we are working with are also great.
It is about 85 degrees and breezy today. It rained this morning. I sit outside on a veranda to do all of my paper work. The view is amazing...looking over the ocean. Tomorrow we will be driving to a Hospital an hour away to look at how to help them. (The missionary couple that is). We are also right by the Larimar mines (the pretty blue stone only found in this one mine on all of the earth). We will try to see the mines also.
