So . . . I think I'm getting worse at this blogging thing. First it was like 3 days, then it was 6 days, and nowww its 8! Ahhh my bad!
But you haven't missed much. Most of this week my cousin, Nanna, and I were sick.
18th- Went to Caberete, a town in the DR. Known for tourist and 'fun things'. We had to go early because Ray had to go get my G-ma (grandma) and m
y Aunt Kim from the airport in Puerto Plata - which is an hour away from where we wanted to go- anyway. . . so Nanna and I got dropped off at around 9ish in the morning and we walked around. . . got hassled by the guys. At first it was flattering (8 years ago) now its just annoying. They say pssst pssst and purse their lips in hope that you'll find it attractive and go up to them and say you're mine. haha Never happens, but hey they keep trying. Moving on- so we walk around and around and around. It was still early so nothing really was going on. Around 12ish we had lunch at this little surfer bar called Aloha. It was really cute, very local place. So we ate there and after we went on a walk on the beach. . . not much was going on. . . untill like 5 minutes later. The wind picked up and BOOM there were about 75 kite surfers. It was great! Especially from a photographers stand point. I w
as in heaven! I love action shots and this was perfect. There were guys doing tricks and as soon as they saw the camera, they ended up trying to show off and I had to thank them later for that. Haha. After we felt about burnt to a crisp we went to a bar called, Lax, and had a mojito. Around 3:30ish we got picked up and I got to say HEYY to my g-ma and aunt. Then we drove home and did the home thing.
19th- Woke up around 2am and I knew it wasn't a good thing. Ran to the bathroom and didn't leave till around 4am. When I finallly went downstairs at 8 or so, my cousin didn't look so good either. I asked what was wrong and she said that she did the same thing in the night! And we knew we had food poisoning. So we sat by the tv in fetal position allllllll day and watched tv. Didn't eat didn't drink anything but water. We felt like dying.
20th- Still sick, didn't do anything.
21st- Felt a little better, went swimming and laid out. Nanna and Dan went kayaking. . . then we ended up by the tv again.
22nd- SUNDAY FUNDAY :Felt 80% better and we had a staff party. We all went to this little beach/river thing where the Dominicans always go on Sunday and we had like a picnic. Lots of food. . . we noticed that they all sat together, but they didn't really talk. We found that to be odd. But we still had fun. We left around 3 and went back to the house where Nanna and I went swimming and we worked a little.
23rd- AWESOME FREAKIN DAY! We were kinda bored in the morning, worked a little o
n the article. . . then we wanted to do something. So we decided to go to La Playita. It is a secret little beach right next to the one at the villa. You have to be fit to get to it because you have to hike down a cliff. Oh, and there are two parts of the cliff you can hike down to get to it. The first one you get to is the hard steep one. The second is still steep but its an easier hike. Sooooo Nanna decides to hike down the steep one and of course I follow. So we're both like "we're gona die! we're gona die!!" We didn't die. We got down there and found two little tree stubs that we used as chairs and plopped down. We opened ou
r bottle of Malibu and coke and we watched the waves. After awhile we wanted to do more, so we got in the water. . . but as soon as I stepped in the waves got bigger and meaner- ask my cousin, I'm not lying- so I decided to get out and when I got out the waves got smaller and calm. I swear the ocean hates me! Never a good experience. So after the ocean we went around this little beach and hiked and saw caves and we ended up calling the small beach- Lost and Found- there were so many shoes that weren't in a pair, there were clothes that were torn. . . it was nuts! Then after we were tired of searching around. We sat back down and I said "Lets make a house" and Nanna thought that it was a good idea, so we made a house!!!! We were at the beach for about 4 hours!!! Then went back home =D Greaaat day!!!
24th- TODAY!!! We are going to Nagua, to the 10 peso store =D
