Heading
We had an early start this morning, getting used to making our own breakfast and cleaning up our own dishes. We enjoyed a breakfast of scrambled eggs and sausage, then walked fifteen minutes to the lodge where a van was waiting to take us to the boat which would take us to Catelina Island. Once we arrived at the dock, we had to wait about an hour on the boat before we left - true Dominican style of time! We enjoyed beautiful views from the boat with the sun shining brightly above us. The boat stopped a ways off the shore where we all jumped off for a refreshing swim and received the opportunity to go snorkeling and have a view of the underwater world. After that the boat cruised along the shore towards Catelina island where smaller boats were waiting to take us to shore. Once we got there we enjoyed a lunch of true Dominican style food. The rest of the afternoon was spent swimming in the ocean, enjoying the beach, and soaking up the sunshine. Late afternoon, the boats picked us up again and brought us back to the Dominican.
We piled back into our van and went to our Airbnb, where we cleaned up and enjoyed a supper at a restaurant on the beach.
We ended the evening with an enjoyable volleyball game.
As great as the last 10 days have been, we all look forward to arriving home safely tomorrow evening, the Lord willing.
