Santiago Frenzy 2 comments
Carnival mask in the Museo Folklorico. Everything about Santiago was frenzied. Hopping from one cramped form of public transportation to another, finding a hotel, walking down the street. I guess the only thing that went down at a relaxed pace was our communication. People speak to us, we look at each other, say a few […]
In Luperon 3 comments
The local scenery. The Dominican Republic may have caught Lee and I a little off-guard but I’m happy to say that things do get easier.

Between traveling all over the place, seeing as many people in the U.S. as possible, and searching for jobs online, we didn’t get much relaxing done. Our week in Del Mar mostly consisted […]
Wedding Continued Leave a comment
Where did I leave off? Ah yes, everyone was leaving. It took as long for people to trickle out as it did for them to trickle in before the wedding. That was kind of nice, since it gave Lee and I more opportunities for one-on-one time with our guests. Some were even […]
