Dominican Republic

A few weeks ago, Kyle and I left to go to the Dominican Republic. I had been sick before we left, but I was getting better when we did leave. But when we got there, I was having trouble keeping food down so one of the doctors looked at me and said that I had phenomena. So for the first few days I didn't really do anything. When I was feeling better I went to work. Here are some photos from the trip. It was lots of fun, but very hot.
