DR Trip Day 2

Day 2 started with a buffet breakfast, and then a short bus ride to the beach for surf lessons.
The kids were troopers going out in the surf and trying their best - several of them even stood up!




After showers, we drove into the mountains and had a fantastic lunch overlooking a valley. 

We then continued on to La Vega to visit Carnaval. It was an interesting experience. It was huge, crowded, loud, and extravagant. A few of our group were overwhelmed and headed back to the bus with Ms. Police. The rest stayed for for about  45 minutes watching the parade of ornate costumes. 



We then drove back over the mountains to our hotel where we had a chicken curry dinner. As was said at our end of the day debrief, we got a chance to immerse ourselves two very different facets of Dominican culture.
