Day 5 - Post-walk Downtime

After a long day of walking and visiting the communities of Hatillo and Prensa de Yagua, we were brought to a ranchito to take a long rest. During our rest, we were graciously offered many snacks like homemade cheese and Dominican saltine crackers to replenish ourselves. We were also encouraged by the community leaders to play a full game of dominoes after hearing about our practice sessions from yesterday. We were very touched to see how welcoming the communities were, even amidst many problems and difficult situations.

After the long rest, we thanked the community leaders and headed back to end the day with dinner (chicken noodle soup) and a group meeting, followed by a session of hot seat for dvg and some extra time to watch the national championship. :)
