Los Lagos Number 7 La Romana

Since my return to the DR, I have been working very closely with the Rotary Club of Consuelo, as my club in Dartmouth, NS is planning a joint-development project in one of the bateyes near Consuelo. I have gotten to know the club members very well over the past year, and some of them have become my closest friends here. Even though there is a Rotary club in San Pedro, which is much closer to Juan Dolio, my heart and my club's work is with the Rotary ...

... and several trips to Consuelo later, we were eventually successful! The doctor who runs this program invited us to come and spend a day with her and her team, which I think was quite beneficial, and was really interesting for me especially, given that I don't really have any medical background. Ian ended up doing some consulting in the patient visits as well, and I handed out clothing donations that I had prepared from Canada. After the day in the ...

Fui en el autobus a el Parque Nacional del Este. Fui a acampar en el parque y fui a pescar en el agua. Fui a subir en las arboles. Fue a estar fenomenal. Fui a ver los animales. Muchos iguanas en la Republica de Dominicana. La Republica de Dominicana tiene muchos animales. En el Parque Nacional del Este, fui a comer bocadillos.

Fui a ir en el autobus a la Romana. Fui a ver los edificios de viejo. Fui a comprar en la comercial de la Romana. Fui a comer en los restaurantes bien. Fui a comer chuleta al carbon. Fue muy bien. Fui a quidar en Hotel Casa del Mar. Fui a sacar muchos fotos por el ciudad.

Hola, me llamo Carlos. Mi viaje de la Republica de Dominicana. Republica de Dominicana fue muy calor y soleado. Republica de Dominicana fue bonito. Durante mi vacacion, fui a visitar muchos parques. Fui a llegar de avion en San Pedro de Macoris en diez de julio. En San Pedro de Macoris, fui a tranquilar en la ...

... the lifestyle for the students in the bateyes is not conducive to striving for academia. Although many of the students are very smart, they simply have too many obstacles that make it difficult to spend any amount of time on school outside of class. That being said, they all come to school with smiles on their faces, and even though some of them look like they haven't slept in days, they are always polite and try their best to stay focused ...

... the people there looked like professional dancers! Anyway, after a few drinks to loosen me up, one of Sindy's cousins tried to teach me...with mediocre success. I did have fun, but I find it really hard to be "natural" and swing my hips in any direction...I definitely need to practice. The next morning, I went for a run around Hato Mayor, and managed to locate some kind of main country road, which was beautiful. I ran 3 km out of the city, towards lush green ...

... in the morning or in the afternoon. The classes that I work with are all in the mornings, so I alternate between 3 schools every second day. Each school is in a different batey (sugar cane settlement), and they all are painted the same because they are government-owned buildings. All of the students are required to wear a uniform that is the same throughout the country, but not all families can afford them, which is a problem. The schools are ...

... but let us pass. We were excited to see this famous resort that we had heard so much. My aunt showed us some enormous golf courses and Oscar de la Renta's private house. We then drove to a gorgeous beach to take pictures. The water was so blue! My aunt said that this sandy beach is actually artificial and that they made it for the guests and residents of Casa de Campo. After hitting the beach, we continued onto the Portofino Marina. Gail said that ...

... back to the truck story. For some reason the guy driving either felt like it was a good time to cruise the city or had forgotten where he lived. So while we were freezing and listening to the rest of the people in the truck sing along with Bachata. I cannot tell you how many times we came this close to Adia´s street and then passed it for some unknown reason. The third time we passed it, the three of us cracked from being tired and too cold. We just ...
