Rest day in Santo Domingo

It's a quiet day for us. We are resting up and taking care of chores as we begin our volunteer work tomorrow. We are in a nice comfortable apartment with 2 bedrooms. It allows us to cook in instead of eating out.

Today, we made appointments at a local salon for me to get a haircut and Phil to get his toenails trimmed. They could not work us in until 6:30 pm, though! In Spain, businesses often close in the middle of the day for a few hours, and workers often work until 7 or later. That means stores are often closed in the afternoon and then reopen in the evening.

Tomorrow we will decide if we will walk to Grañón or take the bus. The weather has turned cold again, but as long as it isn't raining, we will probably walk.Read more
