The last day of our trip in the Dominican is always bitter sweet. It is a day of rest and sightseeing and saying goodbye. Our first adventure was the 27 waterfalls called Damajaqua. It involves hiking up the 27 falls and then coming back down jumping off all of them. It is so beautiful and truly amazing!
We then went to the Aquas Negras one last time. I needed to pick up the finished rice bags from Isabel’s house. I remember this time very vividly from last year. We picked them up on the way to the airport and were actually running late. So I was running through the community with the bags on my shoulders! This time was a little less rushed, but so monumental. It is like all the hard work is in my hands when I leave carrying all of the bags. What an amazing and exciting feeling.
To finish off the awesome day we were able to visit the beach and go out to dinner. The special part of this was having Sandra’s family with us. Sandra is the community leader. A very godly woman who knows the pulse of the community. Her kids are awesome and she is just a fun loving, kind and caring person. Every time I spend time with her I walk away knowing I am loved and often want to be more like her! I am not sure how she was able to do this, but she paid for our entire groups dinner! In a community like this you learn to take as well as give. It was her gift to us and she wanted to do this for us. Amazing.
Look for the bags to be on sale soon at www.kellybethdesigns.com
