Why the Dominican Republic should be your next travel destination

-

 The Dominican Republic is one of the countries that shares the island( Haiti is the other country) called Hispaniola, which was originally named Ayiti. Christopher Columbus claimed the island during his voyage. The Dominican Republic today is the second largest Caribbean island and the second largest population with 10 million people over 48,445 square kilometers. Spain used the Dominican Republic for plantations, which in turn brought slaves to the island for labor. Ever since slavery has ended the Dominican Republic has relied on tourism, and agricultural resources for their economy.  

Along the north coast of the Dominican Republic is a very pretty beach, with golden sand and lined with highly rated resorts known as Playa Dorada. If crowded areas with lots of tourist are not your thing then Playa Dorada is a great travel destination with a tranquil feel to the area. Although it's not as packed as if you were to go to Punta Cana its a beautiful area for swimming and snorkeling. 


If you think that Playa Dorada was a great spot to visit, then you'll love the next place you have to visit when you go to the Dominican Republic. At the tip of the Samana Peninsula there is a remote location with palm trees, white sand beaches, and pretty crystal clear water called Las Galeras. You can rent a boat and travel to the little beaches around the area and have a swim or stay the afternoon their. 



Food is a big part of the culture in the Dominican Republic, there are a lot of places to get food and lots of new foods to try. Sancocho is a 7-meat stew, this dish is found in other Latin countries but every country has a different variation of this stew. It's a staple dish that you can find at just about any restaurant in the Dominican Republic.  
      









Another dish that is a must try is Mangu, the dish is mashed plantains that is usually served with eggs, rice, and fried cheese.

A Little About Me

  Hi everyone. My name is D'Angelo. I'm 19 years old, and some of my hobbies are to draw, playing soccer, and play video games in my free time. I have a dog named Daisy who I love to take walks with, she has a ton energy so she keeps me on my toes. I choose to major in Digital Media because it has many ties to drawing, for example you can go into the logo making field, or you can go into video game design. I hope everyone got to learn a little about me, my hobbies, and my dog.

Self- Assessment

  Blog Post #5  From reading the rubric on the assignments page for our blogs, I think I do a good job about including everything I need to in order to do good. The only thing I need to work on is that I need to include sources from the site I use in some of blog posts. I don't have anything that I stress about the work for blogs. I feel confident in what I write so I don't get too confused on the assignment. I feel that I do put in effort into my blogs and assignments in general. For the most part I try to give myself enough time to complete my assignments, I give myself two to three days to complete assignments. Procrastinating is really bad, because I feel that the work is too rushed and its not your best work that you could put out. I sometimes review my work for grammar and readability. I know I should review my blogs more often so that I know I have proper grammar and mechanics.  For the most part I don't have a problem with other people looking at my blog posts bec...
