Glory Be

Having been in the Dominican Republic for six weeks without visiting a beach should be some sort of punishable offense. For a day, I finally traded in the sounds of motorcycles, barking dogs and blaring music for some glorious quiet adorned by crashing waves. For the first time since we arrived six weeks ago, I saw the ocean... and got to swim in it! It was a glorious day, a perfect combination of adventure (getting there and back) and leisure (being there). Amazing how palpable the change in aural environment was.
