10 Things I ♥ about the DR - Part 1

So to make up for my most negative post yet, here is Part 1 of "10 Things I heart about the DR" (I do hope I can reach the whopping number of 10!).

1.  Sunshine.  Although it is hot hot hot, I'm glad that the sun shines and it isn't grey and miserable like it is in Chicago nearly year round!  I especially love when the sun shines through the rain.

2.  "Tropical" fruit and fresh veggies.  The mangos, passionfruit, and avocados in this country are to die for, and I love how much I can incorporate them into my daily diet.

3.  Living with boyfriend.  We lived together in Barcelona, but this is the first time we live together just the two of us.  He's a good roommate and probably does the dishes more than I do.  Oops.

4.  Good radio, limited TV commercials, and channel E!.  I never watched TV in Europe and I'm now savoring every moment before A prohibits E! due to hearing more of the Kardashian voices than anything else.

5.  American food at the supermarket.  I have yet to splurge on Almond Breeze, Ezekiel bread, and Amy's meals but I love being able to start my day with Kashi cereal or a dollop of Peter Pan peanut butter on a banana.
