On Saturday, our beloved trainer Elisabeth treated us to a trip to Caño Hondo. It is about a 30 minute drive through the campo to get to this amazing site that has SEVEN natural pools. Being Peace Corps volunteers, we worked really hard...sitting by the pool, reading, swimming, drinking piña coladas, etc. It was totally awesome. Plus, our trainer is one of the most lovable people alive and learned much of her english from Jerry Springer (which used to aire in this country). She warned us, in her dominican english, that when she gets mad, she has a lot of ¨colorful¨language that she learned from the show such as, ``you crazy pyscho bitch¨..etc. During our technical training this week with a visitor volunteer, Robyn raved about our lovely triped to ¨cuño hondo¨..which unfortunately translates into a female body part.
Today we took the 1 hour boat ride across the Samana Bay to Samana. We had a picnic lunch and walked across a humongous bridge. The bay is SUPER gorgeous and we pretty much just hung out in the water (as usual). Unfortunately, spf 80 cannot even fight off this equatorial sun and I am as red as a TOMATO...which is why I have earned the nickname ¨cangrecito¨(little crab). Hopefully, I can post some pictures of Samana soon so that you can all be jealous.
