Not really much to report on our weekend. We learned how to play dominoes the Dominican way and spent some time in the street playing Beteyah. Beteyah is a cross between stickball and frisbee that is played with bottle tops off of Beteyah water bottles, the 5 gallon kind. When thrown, the Beteyah top floats like a frisbee and you can put spin or curve on the top. The batter gets 3 outs, which are counted by strikes or a hit that is caught or stopped before it quits moing on its natural path. You really only need 2 people to play, but 4 is best in order to have a cathcher and a fielder. Runs are generally east to score because the tops roll under cars and stop...

Saturday night we caught a few drinks with our friend Cristian, who is the project manager at the jobsite. He took us with him on Sunday to supervise a concrete pour on the top floor of a 9-story bank. It was amazing to watch the workers up there without fall protection or safety barriers. Sheesh.
After some errands and a few tours of the local malls, we called it a day and wrapped up the night on the porch with friends and family.
