terrenas-2005

After a 3 years of running away from the land I've always had a soft spot for I decided to re-visited. I've always said my body might have been born in New York City but my spirit was born in St. Domingo. Going back to St. Domingo was so much more emotional than what I thought it would be. Despite the fact that I had lots of fun, I ended up crying almost everyday just from the nostalgia.

This is Las Terrenas. About 10 years ago, this place only had very small tin made restaurants on the shores of the ocean. They were all so connected to the culture. The decorations were only local. The roofs were thatched. I just loved it. It was perfect. And the beach seemed as if we'd discovered it.
Three Years back this place had about a hand full of hotels, but it still had the bohemian small bed and breakfasts with the local culture still untouched. When I went this time I cried. It just wasn't the same anymore. Despite this the beach is spectacularly beautiful.
