Another one of My underwater Selfies
This is just another one of my vacation photos. I chose it because it looked pretty interesting and the like. It was taken during the few brief moments that the sun was out. Most of the time there was spent rather cloudy, and there was even a bad storm once. Inside the mainland of the Dominican Republic there was a flooding. The hotel was at least far away from the place. I was afraid that the roads would be unpassable. Going from the hotel to the airport, I was able to see all the poverty in the country. Tourism based...
Ambar Green Hotel Entrance
This is another one of my vacation photos. I took it with the big camera so it has high quality. This is the hotel Ambar Green. You do not need to remember its looks because there is like 8 other hotels that look identical to this one. The place was built like a maze. All the buildings and lobbies look the same, with a few minor differences. If one is not careful, you can end up in someone else's room. This actually happened to a fellow that knocked in our door. A lot of people were looking lost throughout the...
Underwater Beneath the Waves
This is quite the little interesting photo I took while inside the pool. It was a cloudy day, and so it came out rather dark and the like. The thing I am wearing is my sunblock. The normal sunblock was not cutting it, so we decided to put on our winter clothing to swim in the pool. It worked pretty great. The one day I did not wear it, I got sunburned. The funny thing is that I got sunburned on a super cloudy day. So, now I take the sun really seriously. I like the water element a lot....
Random Trinkets from Punta Cana
Close to the end of the vacation, some of the locals were allowed to set up shop inside the hotel. Despite being a Caribbean country, all the goods there were worth an arm and a leg. Just a couple of trinkets were worth 110 bucks. This country uses the barter economy. You must be ready to bargain in order to get something that resembles a good deal. I bought a little Virgin Mary figurine made of stone. It looked completely different from everything else being sold there. My mother bought a cross made of red coral. The coral is an...
Cute Orange Florwers in Punta Cana
The hotel complex in Bahia Principe had plenty of tropical flowers. The banana trees even had bananas in them. They were mostly green, which is interesting. I always find it humoring to see in the real world, plants you actually like. Frankly, I am not big on nature. I have a pretty nice garden in the back of my house which I rarely visit. I just don't like bugs, even butterflies. In the real world, they bug me out a lot. I do not know why I have become so squeamish. Taking photos of plants and butterflies and nature is...
