Hola amigos! I just got back yesterday from a week of R&R in the Dominican Republic. It was our third visit (click here to see last year's entry) to the Club Med in Punta Cana and everything was wonderful except for a brief run-in with Hurricane Ernesto on our second to last day. The hurricane was pretty far from us, so it only ended up raining for about two hours!
Hurricane aside, the resort is designed to keep you constantly busy with activities, mingling, or eating. Thereпњљпњљпњљs even a circus school, Mitra! I went on the flying trapeze last year but this year I was just too busy/lazy. Despite that, I played a lot of tennis and it was my basically the first rigorous exercise that Iпњљпњљпњљve done this whole summer. It was far too easy to continually ignore the gym while reciting the excuse that I have to study. But now, hopefully, Iпњљпњљпњљll resume exercising in MITпњљпњљпњљs beautiful Zesiger Center (a.k.a. the Z Center) or by Memorial Drive.
Of course, I wore my MIT hat everywhere. On just our second night there, when I was introducing myself at dinner I said I was from Boston and one of the people at the table asked if I was пњљпњљпњљthat girl who went to MIT.пњљпњљпњљ Haha, 2,000 people at the resort and news traveled fast. I also met an MIT alum (Class of пњљпњљпњљ83) and a few prospective students.
Anyway, here are some pictures.
