Bug Bites and Horse Rides... and Gangham Style


I think I am getting more used to this place, but I certainly still have my gripes, the biggest being that I have about a million bug bites and I’m about to scratch all my skin off. It’s like having the chicken pox, but I already lived through that mess, YUCK.

 I’m also pretty frustrated because today was the first day I planned to stay at the camp all day, and I was hoping to FaceTime/Skype, and do some research…  and of course the @%!# internet stopped working shortly after I got up. Unacceptable.

 Final gripe: I’ve now been to the disco twice, and both times they played Gangham Style more than once… WTF. I thought the United States was the only non-Asian country crazy enough to like that crap? I don’t get it.

 Now on to more positive occurrences: I really liked horseback riding. We rode for a couple hours on a trail around the mountains and it was pretty relaxing. I think my horse hates people because he kept walking under branches that were exactly the height of my face. I can’t blame him though, that’s not really the life.

 As soon as the internet starts working again/immediately after this is posted, I’m going to look into traveling around the DR. I’d like to see Santo Domingo, supposedly they have some cool colonial buildings, and there is a place called Rio San Juan that I’ve been told is really pretty. And maybe either/both of those places will be a little less rustic than where I am now  :x

  1. A horse pulling a sabotage operation against KT? Such a rude organism. But I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless!

    1. I learned yesterday that horses can sense when you don't know what you're doing and they take advantage of that by doing whatever they want... Once again, I don't blame them, but I will never be a horse lover!
