Dominican Republic Experience

You never realize how much you have until you see someone who has very little. I got to really see that when i got to go to the Dominican Republic. It was a great experience not just to see the historic places and the perfect blue ocean like the ones you see in pictures but also to help the people over there in need.

I was glad we had air conditioning back and i was not sweat for the first time of the week.
