My Birthday weekend continues...

I keep telling people that it's not my birthday until Monday, but Sandra said that in her family they celebrate the who weekend, so we are to. First Pedro's Parents took us out to dinner. Then we walked around La Vega for a little while. It's kind of interenting because it you want to buy water to drink, you can buy it in bags instead of bottles. I guess it's probably cheaper that way. It's only about two pesos (which is about 6 cents). Me and Sandra and Nicole, which took me a little convincing, got a pedicure, and guess how much (mom your going to freak out) it was only 30 pesos (which it about $1 US) crazy, huh? But not everything is that cheap, most things are pretty comparable. But I must say, my toes look pretty nice.
After that we went back to their house for a little bit and then we went to a movie, The Pink Panther. It was pretty funny. It was in English too, just with spanish subtitles. Then we went to eat at this place that had really good empanadas (if you don't know what they are, I can't really explain them, but they are really good.) Then we had ice cream at Baskin Robins (I had chocolate Browie). I swear, I've eaten so much on this trip. And THEN we went to an arcade. (Who knew that the Dominican had all this stuff, I guess it's a little different then Haiti and it also depends where you're at. Oh, yeah, I forgot, we also got to see some on the historial site is La Vega. We saw some of the big Catholic churches and this "Holy Hole" thing where some tree was planted my Christaphor Columbus or something. Pedros mom was telling us that when she was little, her mom used to put her it there to try and "make her Holy." Crazy catholics (just kidding Colleen) but seriously, what the heck? She also was sent to a catholic bording school when she was only 6 years old. And at this school, a child wet there bed, they would have to stand outside with the matress on their head until it dried. Sad, huh? But the Catholics are pretty extreme here.
Well anyway, that was my day, I think now we are going to watch the rest of the movie we rented. Bye for now
