We woke up Monday morning for another excursion. This is what I had been waiting for all week. I was so excited for this Magic Mushroom canyoning tour. This tour takes place on the mountain Cordillera Septentrional.

I was still full from the delicious Dominican food that was ...

Switching planes, bus rides, and the weather change put a toll on me. I was in bed early Friday night after dinner and caught up on some sleep. I woke up Saturday ...
