Arrived in the Dominican Republic at 1:30pm on Wednesday to be greeted by Kendra Luna. We immediately went to La Sarena to buy groceries and supplies both for Haiti and her family while she is away. It still boggles our minds that they don't refridgerate eggs, milk, or cheese here. After we filled two carts full, we traveled the hour drive to Jarabacoa where Samuel and Kendra live with their three boys.
We began our travels up the mountain and could feel the temperature dropping drastically. Kendra filled us in on what they have been up to the last six weeks and we did the same. As we pulled into the drive way we were greeted by Landon, Nathan and Andersen - their three handsome boys. They helped us unload the groceries and while Samuel put hamburgers on the grill we relaxed in our rooms from the long night and day of traveling.
For dinner we had a BBQ with the family on the patio in their backyard. The yard is lush with palm trees and feels very tropical. With a basketball hoop out front, the three boys and Emily played a game of basketball, then Danny joined the shooting around.
We were all exhausted from the lack of sleep the night before so we showered and went to bed by 8:30pm.
