After meeting at the airport at 4:30 am, we arrived safely in the Dominican Republic this afternoon around 2:30 pm local time, which is one hour later than Michigan time. We sailed through customs and then the 13 of us all crammed into the church bus along with our 23 pieces of checked luggage and carry ons and a few of the church members!
As we were checking into our hotel, we noticed a "parade" going by, which was actually a large group of people riding horses, motorcycles, and very old cars which left. large plumes of smoke They were carrying signs and yelling protests in anger over their living situation, which we were told included frustration over the electrical power going out at least once a day. Needless to say, we're all carrying our flashlights!
We were unable to attend church this evening as planned because our bus never showed up. We're all so tired that we are glad to turn in early tonight. Here's a picture of the protest....
