Profe in DR 02

Hola GTA,

After three weeks in the capital, the Youth Development training group moved to the town of Constanza for the next five weeks of our training.  Constanza is located in a valley in the mountains near the center of the country.  Its cooler here and very beautiful.  The town is surrounded on all sides by mountains, and is famous for growing flowers and vegetables.  My host family here is very small, just two people, a 51 year old mother and her 34 year old daughter.  However they have lots of family and relatives who come over to visit all the time.  The electricity and water do not run all the time but at least they seem to stick to a schedule.

Last Sunday a few of us rode up in the back of a pickup into the mountains and stopped by a waterfall.  My friend and I swam in the water but it was absolutely freezing.  Colder than Lake Superior!

Aftewards we stopped by a house in the mountains and had lunch.

To be continued...
