saturday morning john and i traveled through the mountains to cabarete beach with leah, robyn, amanda, and her friend nora who was also visiting. the day was spent taking naps in the sunshine, playing in the waves, making sandwiches and cutting pineapple on the beach. i also randomly ran into a friend from high school, rachel keller. what are the chances of being within fifty yards of each other on the same beach in the dominican republic on a random saturday!? i found out she is studying abroad in santiago and hopefully we'll get together sometime while we're both here. sunday we went to church at la vid and then went to a waterfall with amanda and nora. that night we played games, one of my favorite things, at amanda and leah's casa.

monday and tuesday we spent at doulos. john helped kerrie and i do paper mache projects with the 1st and 2nd graders. it was a messy but so fun. we also taught 7th grade and did an introduction to their study of caves. we transformed the art cave below the stage into a taino cave and led the students through by candlelight to observe the "cave art." sadly i didn't think to take a picture of this until after we had cleaned it all up. tuesday afternoon john helped leah and i take engagement pictures for matt and brit. here are a few of my favorite ones.
wednesday through friday of the week john was here was service week. the students at doulos go out into the community to do a variety of service projects. so more about that maybe tomorrow.
