Friday was our free day. No were done with interviews. We woke up relatively late, went to breakfast and had our respective meals. We were surprise to see more people than normal in the hotel’s restaurant. At times we thought that we were the only people living in the hotel, because we never saw anyone eating breakfast with us. After breakfast, we spent a good part of our morning planning our visits to the local bank and our last meeting with our collaborators. Time flew by visiting banks and organizing our paper work. This was followed by a late lunch from our favorite sandwich restaurant “Thesaurus” and our last meeting with the girls. The medical students and us reviewed our three weeks full of anecdotes, took some pictures and then headed out to our next meeting with our local P.I. in her hospital.
We had an eventful evening. We went to Rich’s favorite spot in Santo Domingo; La Plaza de la Hispanidad. This place is a wide open plaza, next to the water, with restaurants on one corner and a view to a small stage where a trio and traditional dancers perform. Sapun and I begin to feel creative with the camera settings and took some nice shots with the black and white settings. After going home to change our clothes we came back to go to a local dancing club next to the Plaza. Here we got to practice our Merengue and Bachata dancing skills at “Atarazana 9”. I must acknowledge that I was feeling a bit rusty, but I still had fun. Sapun and Rich can definitely show their skills on the dance floor!
