Creighton's ILAC (Institute for Latin American Concern) center where we are staying is beautiful! (Minus the misquitos). All of the instructors stay in casitas (little huts) with 2 people in each. There is a very pretty church and I believe that everything in it was handmade in the Dominican. The center has a little courtyard with a fountain in the middle and out back is a big grassy area with gazebos, a running track, a little weightroom, and a garden.

I love the coffee here...they make it very strong! And the weather is great! We have good food usually....a lot of rice and beans, eggs, salad, bread, yucca, pineapple, plantains, and mystery meat :)
