Hola amigos! Que tal? For all of those who don’t speak Spanish that means “Hi friends! How are things?” Well, where do I start? The Dominican Republic is incredible. We’re having a blast. Everything is like a picture perfect moment. Just a minute ago, I was outside and saw a goat eating leaves in front of me. Meanwhile, the birds were singing away above me with their wild songs and two green geckos were chasing each other on a tree branch. The nature here is awesome! All the animal and insect sounds make up Mother Nature’s great symphony. It is very fun to listen to.
There’s a boy here named Maximo who is the best nature guide. He took us down to a beautiful lake that was hidden by giant green hills. As we were trying to see who could skip rocks the farthest, he explained where all the best fishing holes were and how many fish he had caught.

At around 4:00 p.m each day it rains, so we had to head back. On the way, he pointed out all the pretty flowers and cool birds to us. He also showed us where their nests were and the different sounds they made--even the baby birds. When we got back to our “casa”, Maximo pointed to a bird and told us that that bird had been at the lake with us and was actually showing us the way home. Isn’t that cool? Once we get back we’ll post some pics of Maximo so you can meet him, too! Keep checking back to see all of our new adventures! Hasta luego, Hendrick aka “Enrique”.
