Well, technically I wasn't in the Dominican Republic for vacation. I was there to improve my fluency while teaching health classes. But still. It's the Caribbean; how can it not feel like a vacation?

| don't i just look like i need a vacation? |
Anyway, when a fellow volunteer invited me to go to La Vega with her, I was all for it. Trips across the country in an air-conditioned bus, sign me up! We stayed with a lady named Altagracia (the same one from my last post on food), and since I so obviously look foreign, I got to get a tour of the town from friends of Ashlie, my fellow vacationer who had been to La Vega on a mission.

| the absolutely gorgeous plaza |
 |
| hurray for friends! and thank goodness I managed to sneak in the picture! |

| spoiler: so these two end up marrying |
We ended the tour by watching a local baseball game, which is the only important game as far as Dominicans are concerned. Baseball in the Dominican Republic is like football in Texas: BIG
