I am moving from this crazy Kansas weather to some place warm, like Barbados. Barbados is a warm place where I can be outside whenever I want, and it has wonderful scenery. You can see the sunset and beautiful plants.
I like lots of living space, so I’m looking for a four bedrooms house with a large backyard and hopefully a pool. My budget is between $400,000 and $600,00. I hope I can find something I’m looking for.

The crystal heights house was very modern; it had lots of browns in the counter and floor. It was priced at $650,000, a little over our budget but I a might be willing to compromise. This house had 38,000 square feet, which is pretty big, however the master bedroom was felt too cramped. The back doors opened up tremendously wide

At first, I followed the edge of our property line until I came to a little trail in the weeds that looked like it been made by a deer or another good-sized animal. It descended gently down the escarpment at first, but then I had to quicken my step as it became a little steeper, eventually taking me right down to the Genesee River. The river itself wasn’t as wide and as deep as I thought it would have been, and in spots it looked like you could cross without needing the aid of a bridge, the water perhaps coming up as high as my waist. But that was most likely because it was August and the heat wave we’d been experiencing had the area gripped in a drought. I had followed the river’s rocky shoreline for a little ways while listening

In New York City, I found a “melting pot” of different immigrants that allowed me to feel more accepted as a Dominican living in the United States.

I smiled gently as my feet sunk into the warm sands of the Punta Cana coast. During a short snorkeling expedition on the magnificent coral reefs, I was abruptly awoken by a loud series of bangs.
