It's Flashback Friday and I wanted to share a few photos that never made it to the previous blog posts. 

If you don't already know, my parents were born and raised in the Dominican Republic. DR is a place that I hold very close to my heart and that I visit annually. Every time my family and I go we stay at a different place. On our last visit we stayed in Sosua and the time before that we stayed in Samana. 

Dominican Republic is the only place in the world that I can tolerate the heat. It could be 115 degrees and for some very strange reason, I will be OK with it. 

A year ago I visited Bangladesh, a place where the weather gets very high.. I mean 100+ degrees high. While there I had to wear traditional clothing which is; cotton from head to toe (pants, long sleeve top and a scarf). This is believed to help keep you cool from the sun, but, I was dying!! Most of the time I wanted to stay indoors because the sun would be beaming like crayyyzy!  

Like I said before, there's just something about Dominican Republic that simply makes the heat tolerable and enjoyable. I hope you all enjoy these precious photos from our Dominican Republic family vacation.

Es Viernes de recuerdos y yo quería compartir algunas fotos que nunca llegaron a las entradas del blog anteriores.

Si usted no lo sabe ya, mis padres nacieron y se criaron en la República Dominicana. Este es un lugar que tengo muy cerca de mi corazón y que visito cada año. Cada vez que mi familia y yo vamos nos quedamos en un lugar diferente. En nuestra última visita nos alojamos en Sosua y el tiempo antes nos alojamos en Samaná.

República Dominicana es el único lugar en el mundo que puedo tolerar el calor. Hace un año visité Bangladesh, un lugar donde el clima se pone muy alto .. me refiero a más de 100 grados de altura. Cuando estuve aya tuve que usar la ropa tradicional que es; algodón de la cabeza a los pies (pantalones, camiseta de manga larga y una bufanda). Las personas creen que ayuda a mantenerse fresco del sol, pero, yo me estaba muriendo!! La mayor parte del tiempo quería quedarme en casa porque el sol estaba demasiado radiante!

Como he dicho antes, hay algo acerca de República Dominicana que simplemente hace que el calor sea tolerable y agradable. Hoy les enseño fotos de mis vacaciones con mi familia.
