Día 4

What a waste of un Sábado (a Saturday). We have an entire country waiting to be seen, and we spend our day lounging around.

First, we sleep in until like 11 o'clock - which if I were at home, I wouldn't have cared, but the fact that we wasted the whole morning in another país (country) is kind of irritating. Granted, we did have a long week and it was much needed sleep, but still - I can sleep when I'm dead. We finally get up to eat breakfast, and decide that we should go to the store - and this is our big trip of the day. One of the guys needs clothes, and we kind of want to get some normal comida to snack on. How exciting. Seriously though, that's all we did all day.

After dinner, we head to another casa and hang out there for the evening. We end up playing dominos - which according to los Dominicanos, we play the wrong way. Well, we're about to start a new game when the father of the house comes out to introduce himself. A little bit of small talk, and we ask him (or try to ask him) about an area called Los Tres Ojos (The Three Eyes). They are a set of caves that are supposed to be beautiful. One of the guys accidentally calls it Los Dos Ojos (The Two Eyes), and this old man goes off on this long tangent, and we aren't exactly sure about what. We come to the conclusion that he has this huge conspiracy theory about the United States, the FBI, and the CIA. He claims that they drugged him and messed with his brain, and that we aren't truly a democratic society, and how our government kills off anybody that has new ideas (like President Kennedy..not sure how he got to that extreme). It's a good 30 minutes before he's done bashing the US and claiming that La Dominicana is the best country, blah blah blah. Part of me feels bad, because the whole time I can't stop laughing about how we got to this. We just wanted to know if he'd seen the caves, and now we're bashing the US. Hmm, interesante (interesting).

Anyway, that pretty much sums up my day. Super boring. Until next time, buen día (good day)!
