I started the summer off right with visits from Natalie, and friend from Tech since freshman year, and Fran and Barbara, who should need no introduction!
The following pictures are from our trip to Sosua and Cabarete. Some wonderful New Englanders shared their home with us in Sosua and took us horseback riding. We also took a day beach trip to Cabarete, of course the only pictures from that are the ones of us drinking.
There’s also some out-of-this-world, mind-blowingly beautiful pictures of us climbing the 27 waterfalls. If Natalie (ehem) ever gets around to sending them, I will post them.
Then... Frandana and Barbabra arrive!
Below we are leading an environmental talk with our translator and school director, Felipe.
Our last night in Imbert, dinner with the family. Below is Mrs. Exley, Frederick, Aracelis, Fran, Me, OB, Franceli, and the one and only Lelo.
All in all a great time. More pictures in the Album, “Last and Second Summer”
