Day 6 - Sightseeing in the Dominican Republic

Whew! Today was a big day. It was our sightseeing day here on the YOM trip, so we got up, ate breakfast here at the hotel, and traveled about 1.5 hours to the area that we'd be doing all our fun activities

We went to a big mountain and rode a cable car up to the top. About 2/3 the way up, we went up into the clouds! Clouds covered the top of the mountain and we spent about 40min up at the summit in the cloudy misty fog. For most the YOMers, it was the first such experience they'd ever had; we all had a great time taking pictures and checking out the awesome unique sights from the cable car ride and mountaintop. We could see the entire city and even the ocean on the way up the mountain! Talk about a breathtaking view.

From there we left and went to lunch at a local restaurant where we ate a meal of chicken, rice, avocados, and other Dominican-style side dishes. After lunch we went to the go-kart tracks and spent a few hours racing each other. The photos from the go-karts are sure to be entertaining! Then the YOM Team headed towards our dinner restaurant, "El Chorro" (a Mexican restaurant). The restaurant was right across the street from the ocean, so we spent about 25min wading in the ocean. It was many YOMers first time visiting the ocean! Although is was a quick visit at the ocean, everyone was really happy that we got to wade around and take some memorable photos. We had a great dinner of tacos, enchiladas, and burritos, complete with homemade juice drinks and Dominican dessert.

We just arrived back at our hotel for the night. All of today's photos are uploading! Tomorrow will be a big day of evangelism and services; please pray with us for the outreach efforts and both of the services. Thank you so much for the comments and prayers so far throughout this year's MO-YOM trip!!!
