As the Philly team says their good byes and prepares to return to St. Anne's, 11 people will be dropped off by family members in the wee hours of Saturday morning to begin their journey from Dulles to Santo Domingo and on to Santiago.Wikipedia has this entry about the monument shown on the left...
The Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración is a monument in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic. It was constructed by Dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo in the 1940's as an honor to himself. After Trujillo's assassination and the end of his regime, the government changed the name to "Monumento a los Héroes de la Restauración" (Monument to the Heroes of the Restoration).
It is located on a hill in the middle of Santiago with spectacular views of the city and surrounding mountains. It also has a surrounding park and it is an attractive place at night where people go to relax.
Saturday evening, those same 11 will be able to look up the hill at the Monumento. There will be stories to tell, check back soon.
Welcome home, Philly crew!
