Spoiled or Blessed

Day 54/100
A picture of you on your last vacation.

That's me, in the hoodie, in a pool. It's how I roll. We had just finished throwing the kids around the pool and now I was my turn. My wife just doesn't know her own strength, and I'm going in a direction to land on my niece.

This was one vacation that definitely spoiled me. We took a trip down to the Dominican Republic for a week. We stayed in a four bedroom villa, each room with an on suite bath. There were two outdoor showers, an amazing pool with wonderful landscaping and plenty of places to explore. Gorgeous sunrises and sunsets everyday. An amazingly pleasant staff that kept the place spotless (even with a family of 9 tearing it up right behind them) and a cook that had breakfast and dinner waiting on us everyday. Got to taste sugarcane for the first time as well as cocoa beans straight from the plant (they were surprisingly tart).

We also spent a day with a local school during for their summer games. A ton of fun and a huge wake-up call that spoken Spanish is not the same depending on where you go. So if you learned Spanish from a Castillean or Mexican speaking teacher, you are in for an awakening in the Dominican. It won't be a rude awakening, but definitely a surprise.

I leave you with a picture of my beautiful wife on our trip.
