Lisa's Return to the DR!

Lisa returned for a second visit! Which must mean I’m an awesome host. Just kidding. :) I can definitely understand wanting to revisit the Dominican Republic! I’m already planning my return trip and I haven’t even left yet.
Anyway, Lisa had been here before, so we went to areas that she hadn’t yet seen. We spent time in the Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo, at the Las Terrenas beaches and El Limon waterfall in Samana, my community in Mao and finally a stop in Santiago. Alena, a friend and volunteer from Germany working at our school and Banelino joined us, and we all had a great time! There were over 1300 pictures between the three of us during this trip, which must be a record of some sort, but in any case gave me a lot of choices of which ones to include in this post! Enjoy the photos from late March/beginning of April.

Relampago or Lightening looks innocent enough, but almost booted me off. Still friends!
