'hey, can you give me a lift?'

Typically, only the counselors with the DREAM kids go on field trips. Part of that is due to expense, and the other part is that the teachers need to stay and have classes for the kids who didn't have a field trip that day. Fortunately, my co-teacher Bjorn and I got to go on the field trip to Teleférico.

A teleférico is a cable car. The Teleférico in the Dominican Republic goes to the top of the mountain Isabel de Torres, which is 2565 feet. There's a bit of a wait before you can board the cable car, but fortunately we were entertained by a band. Unofortunately, the video won't load, but here's a picture:

And here's a sequence of pictures to make you feel like you're there.

 Excuse all the pictures. This place is seriously photo-worthy

without enhancements whatsoever. GORGEOUS

fyi, the sun is totally in my eyes

This was one of my FAVORITE spots in the DR. We actually got really lucky, because the day before the weather was rainy (like tropical depression rainy), but the day of the trip, the skies cleared right up.
