Dropped Megan and Dad off at the airport this morning. Sad day. We are absolutely not ready to leave! We are just starting to get the hang of life down here and its about to end. But I supposed I miss the states a little too, so Mag, Dom and I will be heading back to Santa Fe in the morning. 

So Saturday night we ventured out to a club called IMAGINE. It turned out to be a really large dance club, underground, with go-go dancers, and it was pretty amazing. We had a wonderful time dancing.

Meg and I at the entrance. 

Dom and Mag inside. You can see some of the cave in the background.

Sunday was spent at the Hard Rock Casino and Resort. Easily, the most fun we have had the entire vacation. It is a private, very expensive resort, but Dad had been to the casino a couple nights and was given day passes for all of us to enjoy the pools, food and drinks. Of course, as a business ploy to try and get us to purchase some time to spend at one of their resorts, but who cares. We spent a couple hours listening to the salesman's pitch and getting a tour and in return got to spend the entire day pretending to be rich :)

The resort offered like 'beginner diving' in the pool, so Megan and I tried it. Pretty cool. Of course, the actual ocean floor would probably be much more interesting.

Just a view of some of the resort area.

So this picture. We were all sitting by the pool and heard some 'contests' going on nearby. The first one we saw was an underwater contest, seeing who could hold their breath the longest. Dom could have easily one that one, but we figured out what was going on too late. So awhile later, they did another one. Asked for 8 girls to come up and do this contest. The catch is, you have no idea what its going to be. We just assumed it would have to deal with water, so Maggie convinced Dom that she had to go up and participate, then turned to me and said, "if this turns out to be a bikini contest, you have to go take her place because she's going to kill me". Well, I ended up going up anyway, to find out this is a Reggaeton dance contest. Don't know what that is? Look it up. Long story short, I am up here dancing some hip-hop latin style dance, ALONE in front of the entire pool population up against all Brazilian and Columbian girls, and I won. Go figure. As the black lady that stopped me later said, 'white girl can throw down!' haha. So, I won a bottle of rum for us. (Dom ducked out as soon as she heard 'dance') Can't blame her. I didn't think I had a chance up against that population.

Maggie playing volleyball in the pool. Free drinks and food all day was a pretty amazing and relaxing day.

Yesterday was spent reading and doing some souvenir shopping. I did end up getting a gorgeous Amber stone that is specific to the Dominican. It turns blue in the sunlight. And I got some gifts for you all too ;)
