Day 3- The Search for the Lost Exit

Filed under: Lizbeth — 4hequipogis @ 8:27 am



After being in the hotel for the most part of the morning and afternoon, we decided it was time to get some fresh air. With the tropical storm STILL 50 feet away from us, the hotel staff strongly discouraged us from going outside, especially from walking outside. We couldn’t use the front doors since those were closed. Being the adventurous rebels that we are, we decided to find our own exit from the hotel and go walking to find the grocery store anyways. This proved to be more difficult than we had imagined. We searched in the lobby, the first floor, the second floor, the parking lot, and through the pool area, but were unsuccessful in finding an alternative exit. Finally, we decided to brave up to the situation and walk out through the parking garage. While only receiving curious glances from the staff members, no one tried to stop us from walking in the tropical storm (the fierce determination on our faces was probably evident). In the end, we managed to find the grocery store without trouble and also managed to arrive at the hotel…DRY, for the first time since arriving. The rest of the evening was spent working on our presentations.

Despues de estar en el hotel por la mayor parte de la manana, decidimos salir por un poco de aire fresco. Aunque nos queriamos salir por la puerta de enfrente, esa estaba cerrada. Como la mayoria de los trabajadores nos avisaron que nos quedaramos en el hotel, no quisimos preguntarles por una salida. Siendo rebeldes, decidimos buscar nuestra propia salida. Buscamos en el lobby, el primer y segundo piso, por la picina, y por el garage, pero no encontramos salida. Al final, nomas decidimos usar la salida del garage, aunque no queriamos usarla por miedo de que nos dijieran algo. Resulto que no nos dijieron nada y nomas nos vieron con miradas curiosas. Pudimos encontrar una marketa y regresamos secos al hotel por la primer ves. La resta de la noche trabajamos en nuestra presentacion.

  1. Dry at last!
    You have had quite a start to your time in the DR!
    And all that practicing – I bet you dream about your presentation at this point!
    I am writing reports today and here in Oreogn the sun is out with no signs of rain for the next several days – so thanks for taking all the rain with you!
