Dominican gripe

So the Dominican gripe is not my favorite thing in the world. Yes, I may have been warned against running around in the rain without a rain jacket... but somehow I think that was not it.

And sure enough, a few mere days after I recover from my intestinal bacteria infection that I got most likely from eating street food I pick up the gripe. Although it's unsurprising as I clearly don't learn to listen to anything... The night after I found out that I had the infection I went out to eat street food once again (haha).

Can't teach an old dog new tricks maybe?

I am however enjoying the random advice I get from any given Dominican they hear that I am sick. My host mom swears that lime juice is going to cure whatever I have. I'm not sure about that as all it consists of is mostly water and sugar hahahah.

Other than that, I've come to be a bit ungrateful for the massive amounts of rain lately. So far it has ruined one weekend trip to the beach as well as two desired trips to Carnaval. If it keeps raining like this without stopping, it will be super frustrating to say the least.
