Playa Day in puerto plata

June 9th, 2025, Dominican Republic, leaders of the day: Eideliz, and Janela. We had good temperature waking up this morning at 5:20 in Dilenia’s Restaurant/ Hotel, had wake up calls for everyone from 6 through 7 am and made sure everyone was on time for breakfast. For breakfast we had all kinds of cereal and fruit, watermelon and strawberries. Everyone seemed to enjoy their breakfast, after breakfast we made sure everyone got on the bus to start our day. It was a 4 hour trip to Puerto Plata from Constanza, very tiring (Although Eideliz slept the whole ride there). After arriving to Puerto Plata we had a delicious lunch, called La Bandera, the national dish of the DR.  After everyone ate lunch we headed down to the hotel we are staying at and checked into our rooms. After everyone was all checked into their rooms we headed down to Alicia beach where we hung out and got in to swim, play, and saw amazingly pretty fishes, seashells and such clear, blue water. Janela got a lot of mosquito bites, we had to do multiple head counts of 19 of us because everyone kept messing up so we had to start over. After this we walked back to the Piergiorgio Palace Hotel and returned our borrowed towels and had free time to take a shower and do things we needed to get done with. At 7:30 pm we had a seminar that a Physician hosted to explain to us about his organization for helping people in need with medical care and construction. Everyone seemed interested in the seminar and asked many questions. 8:20 pm we had dinner everyone had a order they chose so not everyone had the same meal. Janela had wings, salad, fries, and stole Lee’s chicken (Lee is a Global Glimpse Student), and Eideliz had a delicious hamburger with fries. The food was so good everyone was starving so dinner was well served, after dinner we had our final meeting to recap what we had done for today. People participated to talk about their experience so far this trip and how they felt about today as well. We personally were very happy about today’s beach day, the only downside was the 4 hour drive from Constanza to Puerto Plata which felt very long. Finally we read some comments from family on the blogs. Overall the day was very successful, peace out Janela and Eideliz.
