Sooo... I tried to sleep in? Haha cute, I know. But. I did stay in my house till 10 though just to take a breather before starting the day. When I finally emerged, I watched how my Doña makes coffee and had two cups. And then played Casino (shocker!). After a bit, I hung out front and watched Pipe (Maximo's nickname that he wants me to start using cuz I'm family lol) buzz cut his kids hair. And also helped make this...
...turn into this...
...and then we did this...
...and it was delicious. They say the name funny and I have no clue how to even begin spelling it so I'm not gonna try. But I had it in Villa once and it's delicious :)
Lunch followed and then the big baseball game! It was Mariano vs. Restauración. Fun to watch but there was lots of arguing on the field. Three times we thought the game was just gonna stop lol.
Around 7 it ended and Pipe wanted to take me to Vara de Vaca. He made sure to say he wanted to take advantage of my days off and show me around. And when the game ended late, he still wanted to go despite it getting dark because he "doesn't like canceling things." Oh. My. God. Lol I don't think he's Dominican, actually. ;P
His little one that was almost asleep in my arms towards the end of the game came with us. We moto-ed our way up a road for a ways and ended up at this view:
And apparently out there somewhere is Haiti. The river below is what divides the countries. Crazy. Oh, and just behind this picture was where Pipe grew up :D Can you imagine having that view everyday?
And this is the munch that joined us:
He wouldn't smile for me haha. But I let him take this picture of a baby yucca plant:
Pipe introduced me to a neighbor there and showed me the teeny tiny school that they have. The community has water (we still don't btw) but never has luz. It got dark fast though so with a promise to return during the day (I'll take better pictures then), we were off.
When I got back yucca and jamón was waiting for me but no water to shower (and I skipped one last night haha ew, I know). I was all ready to baby-wipe-shower but...My Doña had Pipe moto across the campo to fetch some for me. Ugh again.
So with a shower and 9am approaching I'm off to sleep. Because tomorrow? I'm getting up at 6am to walk with two ladies (one is Altagracia, the turkey fetcher and rifle confiscator haha) in my community that walk for an hour every morning during the week for their health :D I'm pumped and don't wanna be too exhausted tomorrow.
Buenas noches!
