Martin is from the city of Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. He enjoys playing on his computer and reading about Greek gods. Isaura is waiting for him in La Vega. She welcomes him into her house and together they share a delicious lunch to the rhythm of the "bachata." Isaura shows him the parks and local marketplace. She invites him to make devil masks for the carnival and take a dip at the Jimenoa Falls, a delightful place to seal their friendship.
