Today was the last day in the Dominican Republic 10 a.m. we went snorkeling out over a coral reef near the resort which everyone loved. We were able to swim over the reef and see all of the different kinds of fish and such. The guide let us stay there for about 45 minutes and then we took the boat to a natural pool in the ocean. It was completely clear, shallow, and calm. We were able to stay there for about 10 minutes and then we returned to the beach.
Shortly after we were finished snorkeling almost the entire group walked to the Lagoons which was a great way to cool off and relax for a good part of the day. There is one with shrimp that eat dead skin off hands and feet which is very neat. Then we went to the biggest lagoon and jumped off the side, about 2 meters up.
After we were all finished there we split up and did whatever we wanted to. Some people went to the pool, others went to the beach, and some of the adults even rented bicycles.
Around 5:45 p.m. we all met in the lobby to catch a shuttle to take us to Jean Paul and Joanna’s house for dinner and dancing. This year we didn’t dance as much as last year, but we taught the Dominicans some American dances like the Cat Daddy and the Wop which everyone thought was funny. Dinner was amazing. After we ate, we all sat and talked. The Dominicans taught us more Spanish and vice versa.
It was a great evening and we didn’t get back to the resort until around 11:30 p.m . This is definitely one of my favorite things to do in the Dominican Republic - to go to their house and see how they live, dance, and socialize. It was a great last full day. No one could have asked for a better one.
