Today we flew back home, it was a sad but happy day. We said bye to everyone that we became friends with down in the Dominican Republic and also the people we became friends with from Virginia. It’s kinda funny how the first day we got down there everyone stuck with the people they knew and didn’t interact with everyone else. But by the end of the week we all became close friends and it was kinda sad saying by knowing that we probably won’t see each other again or at least for awhile. But the week was overall good and it was a very cool experience and I would definitely go again.

Monday - Snorkeling, Free Time, and Dinner and Dancing at the Giudicelli home
On the last day of our Dominican trip we went snorkeling and saw so many new things. It was very refreshing to be able to swim around on a nice party boat and certainly is an extreme privilege. Next, we paid a visit to an extremely caring family and learned how to dance! We had such amazing food and it was a blast. I thank all of the agents for helping this year to make everything possible!

Today we went snorkeling in the ocean. We had a lot of fun watching the fish and we saw a lot of turtles from the boat. The water was very clear and very pretty. We went shopping on the beach. I have never been snorkeling so it was an experience.
