So I feel I should conclude our one week stay in the Dominican Republic. What should have been only Day 8 became Day 9 as well. It started with our ongoing mission of searching for the lost pair of Thomas’ sunglasses. His “Hollywood” glasses bought early in the week got lost during our banana boat [...]
The first three days here weren’t so great there was a huge tropical storm. It was crazy the wind were blowing at atleast 40mph and the hotel was on lock down. One of the front doors to the hotel had a crack near one of the hinges. When they saw thats when they closed the doors and metal shutters were put in [...]
When i got to Santo Domingo i thought that it was very big and that we where going to get lost but we didn’t. This is the first time i gone out of the US by my self well not by myself but without my dad and mom with me. This trip has taken me to a hole another level [...]
Today was one of the most interesting days I have had since last lear. Friday at last and we were finally on our way to Boca Chica and exitement was in the air. After a very long wait at the hotel for “unclear” reasons, it was around 12 in the afternoon and we were finally ready [...]
All week we have been anticipating Boca Chica.
With a view of muggy water through our hotel window all week long, we have grown fond of anticipating the clear waters of a place described in paper. A place where the sky is no longer gray and everything is bright from a shining sun. A place [...]
As the name implies, today we took a day of rest. Since members of the group were feeling tired and were getting sick, we thought we needed some rest. Thankfully, I haven’t been getting sick. The rest was well called for and we were all refreshed by the time we were ready to go out.
First [...]
Well today was presentation day. All of our hours of practicing and rehearsing for this one day. Was I nervous? Only a minute before we actually presented. It was more the anticipation of having to sit through the previous presentations and knowing that we hadn’t actually rehearsed on stage. Once it was our turn to [...]
I want to take a moment to offer my truest appreciation for all the people at ESRI who have helped make this happen! Without all of you, 4-H Equipo GIS would still just be a very great idea, not a reality!
I want to thank Jack Dangermond for supporting our youth and the program! We are [...]
Well, it finally seems like the storm may have REALLY broken. We actually saw some stars tonight as we were walking back to our favorite outdoor marketplace. We had a difficult time getting everyone out the door of the hotel for this evening’s excursion, but we finally made it. We still missed [...]
Our presentation was on Wednesday, October 31st, at 3:30 EST. The kids did absolutely incredible. There was a bit of nervousness but they did great. We have the video tape, but not the cable to attach it to the computer! So we will have to upload it when we get back.
They DID not get [...]
