We just have to say you guys… today was amazing<3 We started our day by waking up before everyone else (like usual) except this time without the roosters from home base (Ayeeee). The wake-up call was at 7 and we had breakfast at 8. Although not from our usual cooks, food never fails to taste amazing in the Dominican Republic! We had cereal, sandwiches, eggs, fruit, pancakes, and orange juice. Then we headed to the beach at 9, and our song of choice was Starships by Nicki Minaj (if you know, you know). The waves were strong, lots of seashells, and some SALTY water. Not going to lie, our eyes were burning when we got splashed but the view was so worth it. After getting some souvenirs we headed back to the vacation home on the bus at 12.
At the house, we TRIED to get 19 teenagers to shower in 20 minutes, you can guess how that worked out…then had lunch. For lunch, we had rice, beans, chicken, vegetables, fruit, eggplant, avocado, salad, and fruit punch which was the bomb dot com. After lunch, we tried to get to the base house in time for the CAP panel. Unfortunately the traffic – and our bladders – made us late. Nevertheless, we ATE that presentation and everyone was impressed. And let’s not forget it was Marina’s birthday which we celebrated with Las Mañanitas and some Flan. We ended the day with our nightly meeting and some feedback for us leaders (they loved us y’all). Now we write this as everyone talks and plays cards getting ready for bedtime at 10 and lights out at 10:30. While we’re having so much fun, we miss you all like crazy. See you guys real soon!
- With love, Vivian and Lauren (the best leaders everrrrrr)
