A neighboring parish in Restauración
I hope everyone is enjoying the snow. We don't even have local Winter Olympic coverage down here. With a year and a half worth of experience in the mission, firsts are getting rarer to come by. Today, I experienced a couple! My first midday meal with Dominicans that didn't include rice and beans, and a 35 mile one way trip to make a phone call. The trip took me outside the northern border of the parish to a town called Restauración. This town is full of trees and greenery, such a contrast to this very dry time of year in Bánica. Most remarkalbe in my mind was that as soon as I got out of my parish (of course) the road rivals Skyline Drive in beauty and quality. (Sorry, no picture--I ran out of memory stick)
