Hello everyone, this is Morgan Barreras and Bailey Merryman. Today, we were LDDs for our beach day. Thankfully everyone (excluding Kim) was able to come on this adventure to El Quemaito Beach with us today and experience the extremely salty ocean water. We had breakfast on the bus accompanied by some music that had us all singing and dancing. Shout out to Christian, our bus driver, for putting up with all our shenanigans. I (Morgan) can honestly say the ocean water was warmer than our shower water, which is not saying much. Regardless, the water was refreshing and gave us temporary relief from the Dominican heat. We were able to speak to Cesar and Maria who have been working with Larimar, a turquoise colored stone that is native to the Dominican Republic, for over fifteen years. Most of us purchased jewelry for our family and friends so anticipate the greatness and authenticity of the beautiful stone. We also took lots of photos to show you all when we arrive back home. We then reluctantly left the beach to go to English tutoring but we were all excited to see our students once again for their second to last class before graduation on Monday. All in all, it was a relaxing day filled with lots of fun and memories that we will never forget. Thank you for reading and giving us this amazing opportunity.
-Morgan and Bailey
P.S.
– Barreras parents, answer your phone! Love, Morgan.
-Dad, don’t forget to please wash my sheets. Mom, get ready for some bomb coffee. Love, Bailey.

Bailey,
Glad you had a fun day at the beach. I washed your sheets the day after you left. You’re welcome!!??
Love, Dad
Morgan and Bailey I’m so happy you finally got to experience being LDD! I can’t wait to hear more about it when you get back soon. I’m jealous of your beach trip. Tryouts started yesterday so my summer is basically over. Morgan, tryouts were actually really boring and you didn’t miss anything. I hope you guys make the most of your last couple days and miss you tons. Much love, Katie
Ps don’t forget to take pics with your English tutoring students so I can see them!
Bird!
LDD (with Bailey) for beach day? How fitting! Playing a Clampett game of vball would have been the icing on the cake. Hee haw…
The water in DR (ocean water, not the shower) sounds like the salty water we just left in Cancun.
I hope you bought some jewelry pieces and hopefully something we can share. ?
B was excited to see us last night when we got home. The house was still standing and Pupper is fine so JB did a great job. Whew??
We’ll be seeing you in just a few days and I can’t wait.
P.S. sorry about missing your calls. Third time’s a charm. And, I also washed your sheets…..
