The rest of the team joined Dan, Paul, and the Fickau's in Santo Domingo. Flights were on time and thankfully uneventful the second round. The Tuesday flight out of Appleton had mechanical issues so those 5 would have missed their connecting flight in Atlanta so instead piled into a minivan to drive to Chicago to catch a flight to New York and then Santo Domingo. They arrived about 9 hours later than originally planned but I'm sure God had a reason. 

They stopped for sandwiches and jugos (fruit milk shakes) in the Capitol before the hour and a half drive west to Azua. They reunited with Pablo and Ruth and unloaded at the Casa before heading to the hotel. They found out they were a couple of rooms short but this was a temporary problem as Duane and Shawn didn't mind staying at the house. This is the largest group to date at 14; 8 ladies and 6 men.
