We kicked off our Summer of Sí in the Dominican Republic, and let’s just say...it didn’t go as planned. I lost 8 days of footage, almost cried over my SD card, and still somehow managed to soak in the beauty of this island with my daughter Bella by my side. What is Summer of Sí? It’s our family’s journey of reconnecting with our Dominican roots. I’ve been coming here for years, but this summer I’m bringing Bella along for the ride. From city life to campo weekends, this is our way of staying connected to language, culture, and joy. ⏱ Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 02:17 Vlog starts 05:15 We land in DR 07:56 First day of summer camp 19:26 East makeup tutorial 23:48 The Colonial Zone / Make your own chocolate experience 30:10 Headed to Jarabacoa (heart of the island) 37:25 Museo Hermanas Mirabal (Salcedo, DR) 39:10 Petting Zoo (just outside of Jarabacoa) 41:16 Heading to Las Terrenas (northern part of the country) 47:26 Heading to Cayo Levantado (island off the coast of DR) Places featured:...
