Today we were asked to observe all that we were seeing throughout our trip to Higuay. Our first stop was at the Basilica where I loved hearing about the history of the founding and construction of the church.
Today I observed how family oriented the area is. When we were traveling through the Farmers Market we were welcomed by the locals and as I walked through, there were people of all ages involved. Grandparents, parents and children all surrounded the area to welcome us and market their products.
We then ate a Dominican lunch at Wellinton’s family home where the best hospitality was shown, once again I witnessed the importance of family in the Dominican culture. They prepared a large meal for us which was amazing.
In conclusion, I observed today just how important family is and how blessed I am for all that I have. Can’t wait for snorkeling tomorrow and enjoying every moment left with these people!

Today was a very interesting and eye opening day. We began with a trip to the Basilica which was a very interesting experience where we learned some good history and took pictures. Then we had a great experience at the Farmers Market where we definitely saw new experiences and smells.
We then made it to the Welintons family home in the countryside and had a wonderful time eating a proper and delicious Dominican meal. We hung out with the kids and family and had good communion.
Finally we went to the supermarket and were able to enjoy our time shopping for different souvenirs. It was great as we were able to notice the similarities and differences between that store and different stores in the states.

I guess today was one of the best days due to the fact we got to see all different kinds of people blend together and treated everyone including us with dignity and respect.
We were just normal everyday people in the market. We were not Americans in the market. We were just shoppers.
