From Sunday, April 1st, to Monday, April 9^th, 2018 I went on a vacation to the Dominican Republic.

The Dominican Republic is right below Florida and Jamaica. It’s about a 4 hour flight there. When I arrived, it was very warm and sunny.

We took a bus through the city of Puerto Plata to the resort. The Dominican Republic is a third world country, so it was kind of cool to see the city and how people in a third world country live. In the Dominican Republic, hardly anyone has cell phones, and most people ride mopeds, bikes, or horses there. They have to get their water imported from another country because of pollution, and most buildings in the cities were made out of wood and straw.

However, our resort was beautiful. There was three pools and a crystal clear ocean. When we got there, we checked in to our rooms and then went swimming.

At night, we went to this Italian restaurant which was delicious. They also had a Japanese, and a Mediterranean restaurant. The Mediterranean one was good, the Japanese was okay, but the Italian restaurant was absolutely delicious.

Over the next 8 days, we swam in the pool and ocean, and went to the different restaurants at night. It was very relaxing.

The day before we left, we went four wheeling and dune buggying, and that was a blast. We got to ride around and see a lot of the Dominican Republic. While we were riding through the Dominican Republic, we learned a lot about their culture. They grow a lot of fruits and vegetables, coffee, and cocoa.

The Dominican Republic is a beautiful and great country with a very neat culture and friendly people. If you are looking for a new place to visit, I highly encourage you to visit the Dominican Republic.
