santiago and back again

So, it is Tuesday evening and the house is semi-empty again. We went down to Santiago Friday afternoon to meet up with the group from Taylor who had left the day before while we were still teaching classes. Saturday was spent showing the group sites in Santiago. We went to the cultural center, the monument, grabbed lunch at a café inside of a huge grocery store where we were able to do a little bit of shopping, then took them to the mall to get ice cream. It was fun taking them to these places because Alexia and I had not been to all of these places before. It was also nice to do something different than the routine, although life in downtown Santiago is extremely different than the small villages near our house.

While we were in Santiago, a friend of Jennie’s flew down to the DR with a photographer. They are here to spend some time with Jennie before the wedding and then will be taking pictures the day of. Wednesday and Thursday Jennie’s brothers and parents will be flying down and staying at the house. The rest of her friends from the states will come in on Friday.

Friday after lesson planning Alexia, Royce, and I are driving to Santiago for the twins’ 1st birthday to give Jennie some time and space to do whatever she needs to. I’ll let y’all know how everything goes
