It’s hard to believe that just yesterday I was here:

…Since today, this is what I see:

Vacations always end before you want them to…but my week in the Dominican Republic was as relaxing as ever. I loved the grounds of the resort and the beach.






Of course, there was also plenty of food. Highlights include paella, cooked right on the beach:

Fresh shrimp cooked hibachi style at the Japanese restaurant:

Baked grouper:

Grilled lobster with mushroom risotto, served at the resort’s gourmet-themed restaurant:


And fresh fruit. I could not get enough of sweet mango, papaya and cantaloupe.


The week went by really fast but it was enough to get a tan. I can rival Snookie right now, except mine is all natural, thanks to the DR sun.
Back to reality tomorrow…but I’ll return to the Caribbean as soon as I get another chance…c’mon vacation days, accumulate!
