This morning we sorted clothes again for the garage sale. We are trying to catch up on our blog entries. My husband, Howie is traveling here today. I hope he caught the 10:30 flight out of Ohare to Miami. There is a 4 hour layover before boarding a plane for Santiago. This is the same as our trip a week ago. The plane is scheduled to land at 8:40 pm. American Airlines has two flights into Santiago per day, one at 1 pm and one at 8:40 pm. I am anxious for Howie to arrive because I know Carrie misses her dad and I am excited for him to share in our wonderful experiences here.
Our friend Eladia that taught us how to make juice invited us over for lunch today. Dominican meal times are very different here than in the US. They eat no breakfast, but then have a small snack around 10 am. Their lunch is the big meal of the day. Supper is a more simple meal and they eat very late (between 9 and 10 pm). For us Grannies we have been eating as Americans and Dominicans. We eat breakfast AND have a snack at 10. Then we have a big Dominican lunch AND in the evening we have a big American supper around 6:30 or 7:00 pm. We have been eating ALOT.
Eladia make a wonderful meal. She is a little bit of a health nut and it must be working. The children in the pictures are not her children but her grandchildren.
Tonight we are taking the Hernandez and Ramos families out to eat at a cute little out-door burger place. We took them out there last year as well. It has been raining all week, but this afternoon, it finally stopped raining and the sun came out.
