Sometimes you just have to go somewhere and take care of business. That doesn’t mean you can’t have a little bit of relaxation at the same time, right?
This time, I took limited gear with me; I knew there would be little time to stalk wildlife. Even more, I didn’t know what my mood toward relaxation would be.
Coming back from a tropical island into the drab and dreary climate of Canada at the end of winter is quite a shock. Even if you left that drab climate a mere week ago. How one gets used to the good stuff quickly!
For a very long time, I kind of resisted the urge to go on a vacation somewhere else.
Today, everything is about “media”, the more the better. Also, everything has to be mixed together, so everyone can experience it better.
It will sound “revolutionary” if I don’t subscribe to this concept. Just hear me out...?
By now, you must have had enough of tropical pictures. Even more, if you are still stuck in a very wintry landscape with no means of escape. So here is the landscape when I returned from the tropics.
It’s easy to get used to a certain environment, even more, if that environment is an agreeable one. Being in the tropics rids me of any cold I might have, and “cures” a few other ailments that might pop up throughout a winter.
It was time to get a feeling of the surroundings in the Dominican Republic. So we trusted a "guy on the beach who was selling City Tours". Usually, there is no good reason to do such a silly thing, but hey, we were on vacation.
So we paid the guy his requested fee and he gave us a receipt to be presented the next day morning in the hotel lobby.
