Thursday Travels to a welcoming land


After uneventful flights we landed in the city of Santiago near the north coast of the island. We apparently are good at choosing the slowest lines because the group seemed the last from our flight to exit the airport. There we experienced a surprisingly effortless triple rendezvous: 1) Karis, who had arrived 12 hours earlier completed our group, 2) Kimberley Verhulst was waiting with a driver and van to take us Jarabacoa, and 3) Young Sung’s mom was ready with fresh kimbap for our hungry selves. Muy delicioso!

Our accommodations are wonderful with a lovely patio area for eating and relaxing. Everyone went to bed early in anticipation of the new day sun and roosters.

Day 6

We were then invited into the home of a mother in the community. There we were able to enjoy a nice cup of coffee and locally made ice creams. After lunch and a bit of rest we then presented for El Club de Madres. This is an inspiring club of women in Crucero who are the driving force behind most change in the community. This club is funded by the members and is able to help if anyone in the community is faced with unexpected troubles. After presenting and socializing with this wonderful group of mothers we headed back to the villa where we spent the rest of the night.
