Monday Jessi took us to Sosua to walk around. She and John set up some diving and we had lunch then came back to our condo and laid around by the pool and walked on the beach. It was pretty funny to me that at the place we went to for lunch there is a 'locals' menu and a 'tourist' menu, Jessi has been there enough times that they just gave us the 'locals' menu. I took a look at the menu for the tourists and it was a whole lot higher in price than the locals have to pay for the same exact food.

Ariel arrived with flowers for me and we all drove to Puerto Plata for dinner with the family of the director of the school where she works. We had a traditional dinner called MANGU...fried cheese, fried salami, fried plantains, mashed platanos, avocado and fresh fruit, finishing off with bread pudding.
