the capital

We took a trip to the capital, Santo Domingo for a "culture day." This is a street that we spent most of our afternoon on, looking at some Dominican crafts and enjoying the Dominican sun. It was great seeing a whole different part of the country than I have seen before, on the other side of the island from Monte Cristi.

Orphanage Outreach dress code everyday is an O.O. t-shirt, and a skirt or some sort of pant that falls beneath the knee. Here, Karen, Kelly, and I enjoyed a day without having to dress in the Orphanage Outreach dress code!

These are pictures of the oldest standing church in the western hemisphere. It's called Catedral Bsilica Menor de Santa Maria. The first brick was laid by Christopher Columbus's son in the year 1514.

Kelly, Sarah, Karen, and I : )

Again, with Sean, Sarah's husband. They're moving to Haiti in about a month to be doctors there indefinitely!

Karen and I climbed to the top of Fortazela Ozama, what a great view! We didn't take a historic tour, but we had fun climbing around the fort and enjoying the scenery.
