"I Like Your Face"

Hola mis amgios y mi familia!

I'm missing you all but I'm having the BEST time here in the Dominican Republic. The girls on the trip with me are so amazing. There's a couple that I feel like I've been friends with for forever already. We've all experienced so much together, it's really bonded us. We've also met a lot of Dominican students our age who are learning English. Some of them are sooo funny and one guy even told my friend Kelly, "I like your face." Which sounds just hilarious to us, haha.

We're leaving Santiago today and we're heading to the country in San Cristobal. It's about a 3 hour bus ride, which should actually be kinda fun with all of us girls. Saying goodbye to our host family today was sad, and it's going to be sad to say bye to our teachers and our tour guide, Jasson, too. We've all gotten so comfortable with each other in such a short amount of time.

So far we've learned a lot about the culture, we've had a cooking class where we fried plantains and cheese (yes, fried cheese), and learned how to dance the merengue, salsa, reggaeton, and bachata. Last night we went out to a bar to celebrate the end of our classes and we got to practice all of the new moves that we learned. It was soo much fun! We also tried some local drinks that they have here like Mamajuana, Brugal Rum, La Presidente and La Bendicta, the latter two of which are beers. Delicioso!

I won't be able to post for at least another two weeks, so hasta luego!

Te amo muchos!
