PUERTO PLATA IS 72: "LO STUPORE, 'A MARAVIGLIA!"

The Beans buying some food
This morning, The Beans continue visiting Dominican Republic. It's the last day in the country because tomorrow they are going to travel to Mexico. The family has reviewed the Relative Pronouns and Countable and Uncountable nouns before going to buy some local products to prepare a great lunch because they want to say goodbye to this wonderful country with all the honours. They have been tasting different kinds of beans, the typical Dominican food whose name is the same that the family.

The Grandma and Anton Bean have explained some things about the Indians, the Catalans who travelled to the Caribbean Islands to find fortune, did it, and returned to their hometowns where they invested in new business and factories, especially food and textile ones. The Indians never forgot the Caribbean Islands and tried to recreate the American landscapes in the European ones, importing Caribbean plants and seeds and building Caribbean-style houses closer the sea.

The family has been talking about the importance of Salvador de Samà i Torrents, Marquis of Samà who was a great investor and closer friend of Eusebi Güell, who was Antoni Gaudí's patron. Samà was one of these indians who made fortune in the Caribbean Islands and returned to Vilanova i la Geltrú in El Garraf and bought lots and lots of lands in Barcelona, where years after, will be built the most important monuments of the city like Park Güell, Palau Güell and the Sagrada Família.

The family has also talked about the influence of the Jewish community and the kabbalah in Barcelona and the interpretations of our dreams in a Neapolitan-style with the Smorfia.

This afternoon, The Beans have visited Puerto Plata in the north of Dominican Republic. The family has enjoyed the landscapes and they have travelled by cable car to the top of the mountains to have a great view of the north of the island. It has been enjoyable, a beautiful trip before saying goodbye to this unforgettable country.

Tonight, The Beans are flying to Mexico. During the travel, they are listening some classic books thanks to Natalia Bean and Burlington. Enjoy them!
