This is my first blog picture! Aren't you proud of me, Laura! This is part of the resort we stayed at in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It was very pretty, they had many employees pruning and cleaning. Since I couldn't be at the Inauguration, I watched it for hours on the TV in our room. Thank goodness it was actually in English! This Banana Tree was outside our room, I guess you have to boil these before you can eat them? This is a nice house along the roadside. I snapped it on the way by. I guess the bright colors are painted to represent their religious beliefs and Saints.
