First a little bit about my beautiful island
The Dominican Republic is a sovereign state occupying the eastern two-thirds of the island of Hispaniola, in the Greater Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean region. The western one-third of the island is occupied by the nation of Haiti. The Dominican Republic is the second-largest Caribbean nation by area at 48,445 square kilometers (18,705 sq mi), and 3rd by population with approximately 10 million people.
Christopher Columbus landed on the Western part of Hispaniola. On December 6, 1492. The island became the first seat of the Spanish colonial rule in the New World.
The island has an average temperature of 26 °C (78.8 °F) and great climatic and biological diversity.
The country is also the site of the first cathedral, castle, monastery, and fortress built in all of the Americas, located in Santo Domingo's Colonial Zone, a World Heritage Site.

But who are Dominicans actually?
We have a song that says that from our sorrows sun rays are born. They are like the grass: always green. It doesn't matter if it is warm or cold, always green.
This painting from my brother in law reflects in so many ways who we are. Thanks bro, for letting me use your art in my blog!
Dominicans love to share. In a Dominican home there will always be something to eat for you. If they do not have anything, I don't know how, but they will make it happen!
Dominicans love music. Before we start walking, we learn dancing first. Merengue and Bachata are our music and baseball as the favorite sport.
Dominicans talk fast and hard, maybe because of the music. Overall and everywhere the music is playing, so you have to talk HARD!
Few days ago, I found this funny video. That is what happened when you try to draw a Dominican and they begin to hear music...
In the next post, I'll write a little bit about me!
