The Room with a View

We have traveled to the Dominican Republic for the first time

I have to say that blogging changes a person’s attitude towards everything that happens. Personally, I stopped being lazy, and started taking picture of everything around me with twice as much energy as before. This is because I am grateful to everyone who gives me the opportunity to see and feel what it’s like to live in the different countries and cities they are from. I also wanted to share the beauty that I had the chance to see.

The shores of Lake Erie

 

The hotel lobby

It’s not a new hotel, and also, hotels tend to age quicker in tropical countries, due to the rainfalls and the winds. There was a brand-new, beautiful hotel built nearby, but it wasn’t yet open. I would have definitely liked to go there.

The hotel room was small, but cozy

A few three-storey buildings were built in the Spanish colonial style

I understand that you can’t surprise the people living in Brazil with palm trees, but I was absolutely delighted by the form of the leaves, and the way the light falls through them.

Peacocks – the first thing I saw from the balcony

The hotel and the beach territory is always being tidied and cleaned

If you lie down on a beach chair, looking up, this is what you will see

The posters in our hotel room. I think there is something a little Hawaiian about them

In this photo, you can’t see that it’s raining really hard. The rains would come and go every day

This photo was taken by my husband. In the early times of our life together, he had such trouble with composition that it was considered quite an achievement if you could even find me in the pictures taken by him. On this photo, you can even recognize me. So, I am even willing to ignore the pipe that you can also see. It’s my own fault; I should have picked a different spot.

To be continued ...
