Today we got sunburns.

Today was exciting from beginning to end. Woke up before seven and went out to another batey community for a bank meeting and stayed all day doing interviews, painting fingernails, playing volleyball, and coloring pictures. We all had great experiences interacting with different individuals of the community... hopefully I can get someone to post their stories. The day ended with going out for ice cream at a place called Bon and had a lovely walk back to the hotel. Tomorrow we start construction on two houses in a different community. Time for the hard stuff! Let's bring out the work gloves and the sunscreen.

Our friend Jorge, the internet connection we are stealing, is pretty bipolar. So... if you don't hear from us for a couple of days, just blame Jorge. On Saturday morning we are leaving La Romana to relax at a resort, so we will probably have better connection. And for those of you who don't know, we leave the DR on Monday.

Adios!

Women singing at church last night. It was the international women's day.
