Our Second Full Day in the Dominican Republic

Well, we have finished our second full day of visiting schools and helping organizations.

Our trip here was an adventure in itself. A women with asthma had an attack and we had to make a quick landing in West Palm Beach. We were two hours delayed. At least I can say I have been to Florida.

Waking up in a new country is the most beautiful type of transition into new sights and sounds. It is where reality meets dreaming and I am unsure what I am doing now.

The young people are wonderful. It is as if they have always been here. Travel well together. Getting use to very different surrounding. Our first encounter was at a Le Arche home in Santa Domingo. This really broke the ice with the young people.

I am so happy to be here but I look forward to bring our young people home to share their experiences.
