Rain, rain, rain

Well, I guess I picked the wrong week to come down. After a few weeks' dry spell, we're getting nothing but rain.

Monday, the morning seemed to be pretty nice, so I set up to get a tan down by the pool. After about 45 minutes the rain came. For the whole morning it was 40 minutes of sun, 30 minutes of rain, 40 sun, 40 rain; and on and on. Apparently though, it was just enough sun and rain to get me nicely burned on my face and chest (sigh). The rest of Monday was pretty rainy so we ended up staying in and playing Guitar Hero and watching DVDs (note: this is going to be a common theme for the rest of the week)

Tuesday, rain again. With the sun burn in full-effect, I wasn't really even up for doing a whole lot anyway. So again, lots of hanging out, chilling with my bro watching "Wonder Falls" on DVD. In the evening though, I got to sit in and watch my brother's Salsa Dancing lesson, and I must say I was very impressed.

Wednesday, more rain. At least my sun burn was starting to fade. My mom had to fly into Santo Domingo during the day to take care of some things in the city. So I got to sleep in and play some more Guitar Hero. Overcast and rainy afternoon led to more "Wonder Falls" and in the evening we went to a restaurant that was started by my mom's friend Wernie and his husband Daniel. Wow, was that place like a real five-star restaurant. Be sure to check my photo album to see all the pictures, simply beautiful place.

This morning I got up early and went to Yoga again with my mom, followed by lunch with my grandmother. The spot we went to for lunch is this little place right on the beach run by this Italian guy who serves excellent pasta. I believe I had Spaghetti Carvanara (sp?) (which was spaghetti in a white sauce with bits of pork and bacon) mmmm mmm. Finally, a clear day, I thought but as soon as our lunch was over, the clouds rolled in. Even though I tried to salvage a day at the beach the weather was just not having it and we came back to the hill. Took a bit of a nap, and watched the rest of Season 2 of "Weeds" with Scott, had some dinner and watched Once before playing some more Guitar Hero and finally turning in.

I've now got a little less than 2 days left of vacation, and I'm really hoping for at least one more day at the beach. We're running out of DVDs to watch! Well, here's hoping for tomorrow.
