You guessed it! Another vacation to the Dominican Republic, land where my parents were born, my home away from home. I went in January to see my grandmother, I know it’s been a while to today I have found some time to actually do this. Here are pictures of Saturday-Sunday. I had gone for a week, spent 5 days with my grandmother and went to the beach on the weekend only because she insisted that I should go. Here are the pictures; we went to like 4 different places in 2 days so it was very tiring.

Yes, we did leave at the crack of dawn… -_-

I love the rice fields, for some reason, they just look so peaceful!
Our first destination was Blue Lagoon. It is a cavern like water source. Even though it is in a cavern, the water is just so impossibly blue! And you feel like you’re in the middle of the jungle.



And yes, in case you were wondering, my skin is so fair it does glow (reflects sunlight) when hit by direct sunlight. Poor me, it was the joke the whole trip!





There were all sorts of colorful fishies under there so the guys went scuba diving! I was not brave enough to get in the water since it was like 10AM and that water was FREEZING!








Me doing the YMCA, me trying to climb a tree, and me trying to run away from a nest of ants!
So our next stop was another cavern with a lagoon. It was also very beautiful, but very cold! But before we jumped in, we played with random stuff we found on the grounds!


Tainos were the natives that use to inhabit Dominican Republic before the Spaniards got there.

These caves are all connected through water ways, so you can actually scuba dive down there and come out on the other side!

Before entering the cave. Yes I was freaked out, I’m not a fan of bats



We found a broom and decided to “ride” on it. In the end, you can’t even see the broom -_-


Yes, this little house only had a face, lol

And then we played on a little canoe; I of course, was captain

Straight ahead land lovers!!!!!

Oh no, abandon ship!!!!!!!!!




Of course, I had to have a battle, for I am the best warrior ninja!!!!muahahhahah



FOR SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Enemy defeated! Who else wants some?!?!?!?!?!

And now the lake-cavern!



I can’t believe how blue the water is!!! Makes me want a 7-11 slurpie
And then we made our way to the beach, where I feel asleep in the sun for about 2 hours. Don’t worry, I didn’t get sunburned, I had my trusty SPF 50 handy




The sunset was simply beautiful!

————————DAY TWO——————————————-
Now we’re in Samana. I was here last time I did a road trip; the town is just so pretty and cute



















Back with my grandma now


Me and my 13 year old cousin Laura, can you believe she’s so much taller than me????


And with my other cousin Emanuel, who is her older brother


Every time I leave, I just want to go back :(.Hopefully I can go back soon and spend some more time with my grandma.
