10-days-of-Paradise: You and Me - The Wannadies
Now we watch TV
Til we fall asleep
Not very exciting
But it's you and
Me and we'll always be together
You and me always, and forever
ba ba ba ba da ba, it was always

During March 24th through April 2nd, 2006, the Domincan Republic (Dorado Naco to be exact), land of my summer vacations, was finally introduced to the other 9 months of the year personified as a gaggle of my very best friends.

No one stayed as long as Boy and I; we had a constant flux of friends which was nice. We drank pina coladas all day and cuba libres all night; we bathed in the ocean, pool and sun; we played billiards, cards, read books, watched movies on laptops; we feasted on all-you-can-eat, drank milk out of fresh coconuts, and slurped up mussels still swimming in ocean water; we danced our asses off; and we laughed non-stop. He and I also took a 2-day trip to Santo Domingo (4hr bus ride) and chilled with our cousins (mine is 27 and took us bar hopping; his is 14 and was in a travelling production of Snow White in spanish from Puerto Rico) and stayed with my mom in our unbelievable apartment on the Malecon.
