Today was our first full day in Cabarete! We were super super busy!!!! We woke up very early and got ready and went to the school (tres mariposas). After our meeting we got to tour the city where we will be eating lunch with some families. It was amazing to see how differently people can live. We observed a small school and a few different churches and houses. I was amazed how different people can live compared to how we live in the USA. I learned to not take anything for granted and to be so grateful and thankful for all that we have. We ate lunch at a small local spot. I have to say that I was extremely nervous about trying new foods. I tried plantains, chicken, and rice and it was actually delicious! We then went to our second language course to learn more Spanish. It was three hours long. I was placed in the more advanced Spanish speaking group and I was shocked. I actually know a lot of Spanish and I was really proud of myself after the three hours was over. I am looking forward to how much more Spanish I can learn and acquire during this journey! Last on the agenda today was dinner. We ate at "casa mami's". The menu was entirely in Spanish. I saw "pollo" on the menu and knew that meant chicken. I ordered it and I actually really liked it! After dinner we had a short meeting and we were all EXHAUSTED! Off to bed I go...we have a big excursion tomorrow :)
