The Dominican Republic was amazing. The best part was exploring the land, people and enduring the humidity (from sun, to rain, to thunder, to lighting, to almost cats and dogs). Since I love to eat, the best part was understanding the agriculture, making coffee, breaking open a cocoa plant, learning about tobacco, cigar making and last but not least, enjoying some local mamajuana...aka rum (amazing taste with a tinge of honey and special herbs).
