Hi class, I Just want to let you know about the place that I like to go again and again. One of the places that I like to go again and again is to my country. I travel to my country every time that is possible for me. I enjoy a lot going to my country over and over, because is a wonderful opportunity to spent time with my family there. As soon as I arrive there I can eat all of the food that I like. also is another opportunity to take time to rest. One of the reason for that I like to go to my country is because most of my family still living in Dominican Republic, the country that I born. I miss all of my family and I like to visit them to spent quality time with all of them over and over again.

Another thing that I enjoy to go there is the food of my country. In my experience living out of my country for many years and need to cook for my family every day,I think nothing is compare with the ingredients that we use there to cook. Here we can find the same ingredients, but are different in small and taste. Our food that is cook there is the most tasty food for me, it is a combination of natural ingredients and the way that we cook there. When we sit on the table of all my family together and the table full of different types of foods is the best time I spend there.

Additionally, when I travel to my country, I take the opportunity also to rest as much as possible. I spend time to go to a little town where the life is slowly and the environment is calm, compare with the big cities.

to summarize it up Dominican republic is the place that I would go again and again. My country is my favorite place because of the delectable, delicious ethnic cuisine, the time I get to spend with my family and the serene atmosphere where I can relax.
