Paradise Island was dreamy. It was a small sandbank in the middle of the ocean. The only thing on it was two shacks located in the very middle. We had to take a boat to get to it and the ride itself was beautiful. We rode through another natural park and got to learn about the local wildlife. Once on the bank we were taken snorkeling! The location was unreal. We were surrounded by thousands of colorful fish. We were given food to feed them so they came very close. We stayed on the island for about 3 hours (I was in the water the entire time) and started to head back. We ate at a comedor which is a buffet of cafeteria style dominican food. Great food and you can not beat the price!
On Sunday I finally made it out to see the Christ Statue in Puerto Plata. I got to take a cable car up into the mountains and was surrounded in clouds. It was very chilly! It was nice to see more of this towns history. This statue is their main attraction.
3 weeks left of teaching! I am home in 5. This is the home stretch and I am happy and sad about it!
