This spring break I went to the Dominican Republic with my family. Sadly, I did not see any celebrities (there are lots of good baseball players from this country). Here's what I did:
-Ate a lot because the resort was all-inclusive and we mostly ate a buffet and the food was really good. They had mangos, passion fruit, pancakes, and omlettes.
-Put on sunscreen hastily such that I got a blotchy sunburn on the first day.
-Played beach volleyball. Played against old people, little kids, Canadians, Germans, Uraguayians, Slovenians, people from Pennsylvania..........
-Watched the Badger Men's Basketball team because they get American channels down there.
-Tried windsurfing but it was too hard.
-Went into the towns and met a farming family that produced coffee and cocoa beans.
-Unfortunately it was windy and Holy Week so we couldn't go out on boats and it was hard to swim in the ocean. We also couldn't go scuba diving.
-Studied:(
Highlights:
-Watching my mother make bad attempts at speaking Spanish with the locals.
-Watching the staff at the hotel teaching water arobics to drunk people in the pool.
-Hitting a little kid in the gronads with one of my spikes playing volleyball.
Impressions:
-Dominicans are really nice and funny.
-The beaches were disappointing.
-The Dominican Republic is very differnt from Haiti even though they are on the same island.
