Since I have some FREE time, like literally I am able to have free access to the internet, I decided to post about my time in Dominican Republic.I am finding out that nothing in here is cheap, in fact, outside of the beautiful resorts resources are dismal and the cost of living here is outrageous.
The whole country is under severe weather conditions, but that has not stopped me from getting out. I'm going to hold off the water and the "pretty" parts of the country until the weather gets better. But until then, enjoy some pictures.

Summer 2010
In the downtown center you can find souvenirs of all kinds.
More walking in the center on a rainy day.
Walking UP the hill.
Old fortress and more rain.
The view driving from the airport.
1,000 pesos, less than $40 in the U.S.
A leather bracelet with my name engraved on it.
High rates of deaths here are caused from vehicle accidents.
Selling platanos
The river
*This picture right here captures probably the best part of my experience so far. Getting around town is crazy! People will just pick you up and you have to pile in a Corolla with about six or more people in it. The driver takes your money and you tell them where you want to go. You can only get out on the right side. People are crazy on the streets...there are no street signs and no one puts their signals. Loved it.

Fireworks
I feel like I OD on Pharrell sometimes, but oh well it's my blog (hehe). I touched upon the color red a few post back (click here) and this picture pretty much makes it clear why I feel if you want to make a statement of some sort, red is the way to go. I've been wondering for a while now what he has been wearing and the folks over at Upscale Hype have confirmed that they're called the "Nothing" sneakers by BBC. Sweeeeeet. Size 5 Please??!!
And She Aint Eva Eva Eva Gotta Take 'Em Back....
The Louis Vuitton Neverfull is the ultimate bag for the city girl who just wants to grab and go. Not a fan of this colorway, but the bag is a must.
This summer should be interesting. What better way to start it off than with some nice threads.I own a pair of these shorts and i must say, you can wear them with just about anything.
I'm a sucker for a wedge shoe or a lace bootie so when i saw this cork wedge bootie, I almost died. I can't wait for my vacation in Dominican Republic. It's on.
