Day 5: Manabao y el río Yaque del Norte -- 9/19/15

Today was great! Made a big dent into digging the trenches for the aqueducts in Manabao, and then headed to el río Yaque deal Norte en Jarabacoa for a rafting trip -- busy but fun day!

Here are some pictures: 

A squash plantation just outside Marabao. The farmers grow the squash on top of netting so that when the squash is done growing, they fall to the ground. 

The trench that we have been building; it stretches more than 250 feet. Piping will be installed Tuesday to provide water to the village. 

A little puppy wanted to say hi and good luck before we headed off to raft down the Yaque del Norte River! 

Had a great time rafting/swimming down el río Yaque deal Norte and seeing the great view of the mountains.
