Things we'll miss about the Dominican Republic

We love the DR. Here are a few things we loved the most;

1. Being call Bryan, Carolina, and Janes
2. In the past 1345 days, we’ve felt winter temperatures for just 28 of them.
3. Sitting on our balcony, listening to the beautiful harmony of music and mufflers all night
4. Hablando Espanol
5. A daily, 2 hour siesta.
6. Riding Motorcycles
7. Writing a police report in a Dora the Explorer notebook
8. An underdeveloped government. They don’t have resources for a legit police report, but they also don’t have the resources to get in your way when you want to put 20 kids in your car. It’s an acceptable trade-off.
9. Greeting people with a kiss
10. Going for a walk around our neighborhood and half of the houses have someone just sitting in front of their house greeting the passer-bys
11. Unannounced visitors at all hours
12. $2 buys you a full-course meal: salad, rice, beans, meat, and a side
13. 5 days at an all-inclusive for $44. Ridiculous.
14. Dominican sweet potatoes. They’re white, not orange and 10x more delicious.
15. All the people we’ve shared our life with here over the past 3 years, with 5 exceptions.

There aren't really 5 exceptions, the Office anyone?
