So as I mentioned I went to Santo Domingo last weekend. I had to get a shot and needed a break for a couple days from campo life, which thank goodness Peace Corps understands and allows us a couple rest and relaxation days every now and again as long as we don't abuse it. I went out to an Italian restaurant with a friend on Friday night. Saturday I went with a friend to the beach. It's the local favorite for capitleños (capital dwellers), although a friend told me it's also one of the most polluted coastal areas in the country. I personally thought it was pretty, thank goodness my friend didn't tell me that until after I returned. Here's a few pictures from Boca Chica.
Yes, I swear I´m in the Peace Corps!!
Further than that, Saturday night was the despedida (farewell) of a volunteer who had to ET (early terminate) because she couldn't find a buyer or renter for her condo back home and couldn't afford to let it go. It was unfortunate because she was a good volunteer and didn't want to leave. But we had a good time sending her off. We even went to a casino. They look the same here as they do in the states. Probably owned by the same companies too.
Awesome!
