OUR DAY OFF!

Because the picnic for the orphanage did not fully come through we decided it would be necessary to take a DAY OFF! On a day off from tremendous labor (not really) we went to the near by movie theater. This was after we met at Chedraui for 12:00. For all of you Americans, Chedraui is a supermarket/clothing store equivalent to Target.
We walked to the movie theater only to find that there were two movies in English at the time we wanted. 88 minutes or The Happening. We decided to see The Happening, which was very, very gruesome. We will be having nightmares. What was strange was that the movie nurse, or whatever their title is, demanded we keep our feet of the back of the chairs, yet it was okay for the natives to blow balloons during the movie.
The group, without teachers, for today was our day off, went to Chedraui to catch up with Enid. From there we took a SALSA AND CARIMBA dance class. AS all of you may or may not know Maggie is a great dancer. Thus she was able to master the moves faster. BUT Enid, definitely was a great help in making sure we understood the steps. Exhausted from the days worth of relaxation we went home to our houses to enjoy the sweet home stay mothers time.
STAY TUNE FOR MORE ABOUT THE GREAT CHURCH OF SANTO DOMINGO TOMORROW!
