the second day of our week long vacation, we set up some jeep tour that took us to a random fruit plantation (that we were unaware of so we were super confused at first), playa rincon, annnnd another playa that i can't remember the name of. points for michelle! now time for a butt ton of pictures and that classic meesh commentary that you all know and love.
[the plantation randomly had pigs which were truly the star of the show. i swear on my life, if i am still single by the time i'm 30, i'm getting a teacup pig.]
[honestly no idea what fruit this is....papaya? looks cool though!]
[do we see this creepy looking guy? he was our tour guide and he was in love with me. when we first met, he asked if i had a boyfriend, and i said "tengo cinco novios en puerto plata" which means i have five boyfriends in puerto plata. little does he know they're all my 7-year-old second grade boys haha. and he said "you still need one here in samana" haha, clever! he was very nice though and randomly found an aloe vera plant for me to use on my burn.]
[but he does cut a mean mango!]
[fresh cocoa beans that haven't been dried out yet. looks like garlic!]
[there's that pretty day 2 burned leg!]
[this is the beach that i can't remember the name of. playa fria? it had this freshwater creek type of thing that was really cold and then it flowed into the ocean shown above and when you were standing in the water above, you'd get hit with both warm and cold water. so weird!]
[here's our group standing in front of the cold freshwater creek. jeff, me, kendall behind karsen, ryan, courtney, katie, kaylee, and macie!]
[me and my dominican lover! we even shared a bed the whole week ;)]
[just looking out into the distance contemplating life ever so casually. pshhh more like "but when we gonna eat??"]
[and eat we did. lunch was included in the tour and although it doesn't look like anything special, it was one of THE BEST dominican meals i've had out here. basically i need to bring whoever cooked this back home to america with me in my carry on so i can have crispy chicken, rice pilaf, and plantain chips whenever i want.]
[then we all piled back in the jeep and they drove us down to playa rincon, which really was a pretty beach. it's supposed to be one of the prettiest beaches in the caribbean(side note, just found out i've been spelling caribbean wrong my whole life. i'm a college graduate. it's cool.) and it didn't disappoint! only bummer is that we only got to stay there for 45 min because the tour was ending.]
[so many coconut trees on our way back! i love it.]
and of course we had to end the day with more food. this pizza was sooooo good! for some reason, they dumped practically a whole jar of olives on all of them as you can see. but that played in my favor since nobody else really liked them. we ate and ate and ate, and then when we were stuffed, we walked across the street and all got ice cream bars. because there's always room for ice cream. and then we walked home in the rain with the bats! well i did. because haaaaaillllll no am i ever getting back on those motos locos!
