I finally have something interesting to say! I thought I should get this online before Marcos comes back to tell you all about his amazing time to Cusco! So this weekend i went to Selcedo and Jarabacoa. They are two citys north of Santo Domingo. On Friday we left Casa Goshen at 7 am and headed to the Mirabal Muesam. The Mirabal sisters are national icons here. They were part of the 14th of June Movement to over throw the dictator Trujillo. Three of the four sisters were killed in a plot by Trujillo and his secret police the SIM. We were lucky enough to have a meeting with the last sister still alive. She is concederd a national tresure. Her name is Dede Meiabal, and her son was actually the vice presedent of the country a few years back.

After that historical feild trip we went up to the Mts. of Jarabacoa. It was BEAUTIFUL (i suggest you check out the pictures on Goshen’s website) We stayed in a beautiful community and played in the river all day and that night the locals taught us how to dance Dominican style. It was so much fun! On Saturday we took a trip to an organic coffee farm and saw that process and took and amazing hike and ate organic strawberrys and raspberrys on the way! After that we headed to a waterfall and played around for a while. It was an amazing time! I am really glad that we got the chance to get out of the city a little bit and see the beauty of the country! I can’t wait to show you all my pictures!!! Love to you all and I hope you are all well! Blessings!
