Halfway there!

Today is the day! I am half way through my time in the Dominican Republic. This is both heartbreaking and exciting because I miss friends and family but I am also having the time of my life here. In honor of this mark I am going to share a list of my favorite things in the Dominican thus far...

1. Avocados: The are HUGE and flavorful here. Some are almost the size of bowling balls.

2. Costambar: The beach I live by. It is only a 20 minute walk from my house and it is beautiful!

3. Snorkeling: My new found favorite thing to do at the beach. I love seeing all of the colorful fish and other ocean life.

4. Music: Dominican music is upbeat and fun! I am slowly learning how to dance.

5. DR Coffee: It is a lot different than what I was used to at my Cafe at home but I love the taste of Dominican Coffee. Everyone drinks it sweet here as well which is another bonus for me and my sweet tooth.

6. My Neighborhood: Anytime I want I can walk outside my house and play with the sweetest and most grateful children. They are full of laughter and it always warms my heart.

I love my life here. I know that the next 2 months are going to fly by so I will savor every hug, every student who asks me to tie their shoe and every smile.

Dos mas Mez!
