It's amazing here. The Caribbean sea is unbelievably blue and the land is full and mountainous with gorgeous foliage. The little towns remind me of Mexico and any other Latin American country. Motorbikes whizzing by (no one wears a helmet) on dusty dirt roads and men whistling at American girls. I haven't gone into the city of Cabarete yet but I heard the nightlife (discos and dancing) is tons of fun and that the people love the international volunteers and will know us by name pretty soon!
We start training tomorrow: 30 international volunteers + 10 staff + 60 local teachers and counselors. All of the training is in Spanish! The other international volunteers are so interesting and I feel bad for going to bed so early (although I am definitely not alone) but I'm just so overwhelmed!
Hasta luego,
Sarah
