el primer dia de Mayo...May Day!

Buenos Noches!

This afternoon started with a light rain which is significant in the DR because the dominicans believe that the water from the first rain on May Day is from the fountain of youth. To soak up this opportunity, many of us danced in the rain on the way back from exchanging money and in the common area of ILAC so that we could be young forever!

We then were on our way to the Mirabel Museum in Salcedo, which was about a 45 minute drive from ILAC.  Many of us had read the book about the Mirabel sisters called In the Time of the Butterflies and we just watched the movie last night so we were excited to see the original house of the sisters.  We we got there, not only was it still raining, but we found out that the Museum was actually not open.  Bummer.  Again, our silver lining was that there was a Bon ice cream shop not too far away, so we all thought that was a good alternative.

Tonight we will be able to reflect on the past two days of our trip and be able to prepare for tomorrow.

Hasta una otra opportunidad para nos hablarlos - aka Until next time
