Caves/Waterfalls

This past weekend I went with some friends to 27 Charcos. It's a place located in the mountains where guides take you up and then you can jump from waterfalls. It was intense. Swimming against the strong current, scaling steep cliffs, falling from 30-40 feet! The first time I jumped I didn't think I was ever going to land. It was definitely the most exciting and thrilling thing I've ever done in my life.
Tomorrow, I'm off to Santo Domingo to discuss more about my project. So far, I have some input about how to improve the micro-lending process. I'm excited for the meeting because I will get some answers for the many questions I have, as well get some feedback about my ideas. As always, the office has been hectic and my days have been non-stop. I'm enjoying every minute of it.
