Our Fabulous First Week in the Dominican Republic!

Friday, our entire Peace Corps Training Group took public transportation to the Colonial District of the Dominican Republic. Our day in the oldest city on the Caribbean was a dream come true!

The architecture reminded me of the years of living in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

I enjoyed the casual diners at lunch time. We had lunch of traditional Dominican food (as well as pizza and hamburgers for some PC Trainees).

 Here is a photo of my beloved Spanish Professora, Milfred:

  Now I will go off to a wonderful birthday celebration for one of our PC Trainees, and leave you with one last photo:

We are all going to have a dinner together, courtesy of the PC Trainee's host mother and her friends. This birthday is special for Emma, as she is in the Dominican Republic with the Peace Corps (her dream come true, too) and her father was a Peace Corps Volunteer thirty years ago!
