Today is a bonus day, since we have a late flight, so we had time to visit a museum in Santiago, where we learned about Dominican history and culture, starting with the aboriginal Taino people (whose king would choose one of his wives to be buried alive with on his death - considered an honor, and given some poison to be made unconscious for it).
After the museum, we went to Supermercado Nacional to grab a lunch from the cafeteria and make some final chocolate and coffee and snack purchases. From there, it was a short ride to the airport, and a sad farewell to Mateo our tour manager and Bejillo our driver, and, after customs and security, to the DR.
It has been an adventure to remember! This is a great crew of students and teachers to travel with. We did a lot of cool stuff, and met many wonderful people who have touched our lives.
