Day 2 in Hato Mayor startedwith a trip into Santiago to purchase paint and painting supplies, along with medicine cabinets for the bathrooms. Breakfast was cheese, fig newton-like cookies, juice and some fruit. It was great!
We headed into Santiago with Pedrito at 8:30 a.m. and didn't return until almost noon, which meant it was close to lunchtime! We had a great lunch of Con Salo, which is a stew with yucca, potatoes, plantains and some pork. You put the stew on rice in a bowl and eat up! We also had some quacamole, as always.
We then proceeded to paint the four bedrooms and cut in the rest of the rooms. Many hands made light work.
It has been overcast all day, but it is still great weather for shorts and a t-shirt!
We are done painting for the day and are awaiting dinner, which will include fried plantains. If you've never had fried plantains all I can tell you is , "Yummy!"
Tomorrow we paint all day long.
It has been great sitting on the gallerias on the second floor and waving to all of the people going by. We had a great time with some police who drove by and then stopped. They appeared to be quite entertained by us (and we by them).
Life is slower here, the pace more of a walking pace, rather than a driving pace. Refreshing.
I'll try to post again to tomorrow. Thanks for your prayers.
