Hello my friends! ; Saturday 22.Jänner, 22:17 clock
And again I hang back to register with, it was a lot going on in the meantime!
First, starting with the Christmas Eve here, 24 December. I spent it with my sisters and my mother (the father and brother were at Grandma) in the house of the neighbors. It was actually an ordinary evening, we sat and ate (traditional suckling pig) and then we have spoken, but it went off without any mess or anything other, it was an evening like any other. But it was also the case that the Christmas spirit has ever been missing, and the war auch der Hauptgrund, warum ich am 24.ten Heimweh hatte. Man fängt halt an zu denken, wie es sonst daheim immer so ist, und dass dann die Familie sich zusammen setzt und gemeinsam feiert.... Und dann gabs auch noch eine Überraschung, meine Eltern hatten endlich eine Webcam, und es war das erste Mal nach all der Zeit, dass ich sie über Skype sehen konnte.
Das war der 24., der 31. Dezember war nicht ganz so anders. Es fing damit an, dass wir zum Monumento fuhren, dort Yaroa aßen (ganz typisch für Santiago, war das erste mal) und anschließend wieder zu den Nachbarn gingen, dort ein wenig plauderten, und irgendwann meinte der Nachbar mal:„ Ah, jetzt ist das neue Jahr endlich da!“, worauf sich all hugged and wished a good year and then re-played dominoes. Fireworks There Were None also, I have not seen a single missile!
And at the end of the Christmas holidays, from 8 to 11 then we were finally successful in the Pico Duarte. The first day we drove to the Armando Bermúdez National Park to camp in La Cienga where we spent the first night at the comfortable concrete floor. But I have slept much anyway, it was a full two hours. Actually we wanted to sleep in the open sixth, was the reason that you could see the stars so well. I think I've ever seen in my life so many stars, it was really nice, but it could be through the Camera can not see, unfortunately. If containing a memory in my head. (;
The next day we had to get up at 5 for breakfast in the morning, breakfast pack everything, and start promptly at 7 We were therefore expressed at 7.20 (for AFS-relationships in time) prepared, each with a.! fat Wasserbuttel and his backpack, and off we went: 23 km walk with all Ess-/Wasserpausen and the breaks, in which it was looking for his motivation, I have everything needed in all but eight hours which was also partly because.. the directions of the tour guides did not agreed with the fact has always, since it was called then. now another 20 minutes up, and then it goes down again, and then we did it. The fact was, however, that it took another 2 hours up, then we went down and then up again. This one lacks the motivation at some point, if one sets in it, that was the last time up and you see two pieces, is somehow clear. But ultimately it has done so everyone who came last, with our bags with the mules. was high, we slept in the Compatición, went to shower under a beautiful warm waters of the river (at least the air was not subsequently cold), but what was really fine, that there was a sort of camp fire, where you warm.
day three went to 10 in the early going, yet only 4 kilometers (I think it was more, we walked about 2.5 h) up to the summit, top break two hours and then again the same Compatición back to where we have a second night slept in a tent. And then the next day we started again at 7:20 to make our way home. It took me down to 5 hours, together with a guide and another of AFS, but we ran down the mountain. Before us were two German who arrived about 15 minutes to go. But it was better to run because the ground was earthy, it stirs a bit, and then out of the ground was muddy, where you slipped. So until we were down, my white shoes absolutely not recognize, and the earth was not even with soap down completely. And my feet have suffered a little, fat blister on the toes, right and left. But I was on the highest mountain in the Caribbean (3,087 meters) and have some good memories!
Well, this weekend it was then relax in an all-inclusive resort in Puerto Plata announced on the beach with the family. It was only one night, but it was heavenly! (Yes, sunburn I got old, and a friend just said this: ... and in January, long live the Dominican Republic where she is right, she's right (;)
And this weekend.. is long weekend, on Friday the day of Our Lady of Altagracia and Juan Pablo Duarte on Wednesday day, which was moved to Monday, so 4 days off! ; D We are currently at my father's mother in a village called Loma de Cabrera, and the days since Fiesta around the Clock. Yes, the Dominican clearly know how to party! (: And then there was also my birthday on the 20th, which has already started so nice in the morning they sang me Happy Brithday and I get presents, the day went on to say that countless people in the school wished all the best have, and on Facebook before I felt stupid, across all comment with "thanks". But was really nice.
is it now after eleven, let us see again whether to go out again today is announced, you definitely have a good rest of the night, the very best wishes,
Hanna
