Arrived in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 8:56PM ;)
Eva, David and Allison before the gals left for Haiti 1/ 31/10.Thank you for praying us through our travels. God has had His hand on all of us. None of the eight of us who arrived this afternoon had to pay for extra baggage, overweight or had our bags inspected. I brought 2.5 large suitcases of antibiotics, pill bottles and half of the gauze from UMPI. The rest will need to be shipped.
The area looks very much like in Congo. If people were speaking in French rather than Spanish it would be difficult to differentiate.
There are several different teams here, including a building team from Southern Maine, working here in La Romana. Our medical team will sort medications and supplies after breakfast before we head over to Portau Prince tomorrow night. Looks like it should be a good team.
Tonight was capped off with a cool shower and now to sleep on a top bunk under fans to keep us cool. Metal slats in the windows, but no glass necessary. The dorm room is on the second floor, two ladies rooms, with 10 filled bunk beds in this room.
Time for lights out. We have a very long day tomorrow.
