Today is our fifth day in the beautiful country of the Dominican Republic. We traveled to Higuey and experienced many unique things. We started out by going through the local farmers market. We got to witness first hand how Dominicans buy and sell local produce; although sanitation was not of a concern. The sites and smells were so pungent they will stick with us forever. We found up a local man who explained some unique features of the market to us. He then led us to stores where we were able to purchase souvenirs. After our shopping experience we went to lunch, which was very delicious. Then we toured a Basilica which was immaculate. Many of us either prayed, kissed, or touched the picture of the Virgin Mary. After the half hour viewing we went to the local super market. We bought a few more souvenirs and local Dominican food to bring back to the States. We then hopped on the bus and headed to the hotel. On the way we spotted another shop that we then stopped at to once again purchase souvenirs. Traveling home we were able to see the Dominican country side, and go through a local town that shows how true Dominicans live. Once we got back to the hotel we had a delicious meal at the staff restaurant and then spent the rest of the night recooperating from our long and thrilling day. We are absolutely ecstatic about what tomorrow has in store.
