13 Balloons

                        13 balloons  I had a bouquet made of 13 balloons. I got them because I wanted to make you feel how you made me feel when we shared our first honeymoon. I tried to hold onto them, like how you held onto me when I needed someone to be there. When I went out to fill them with air, I kept thinking about how I had found the spark that we would come to share. When I am with you, I feel like I have no care.  I could reach for the sky, and you would still hold onto a part of me. I believed that our love had to come from mastery.

 Story Time: Visiting El monumento a las heroes de la restauración in Santo Domingo


" Shachem Lieuw at el monumento a las heroes de la restauracion in Santo Domingo"


Hello, my dearest Story Time readers from around the world! I am happy to write to you again about another one of my adventures. But just to make sure you don't miss any of the awesome stories that I will be sharing with you guys on my blog make sure you subscribe when you see that U.F.O. pop up on your screen. I look forward to welcoming new members of the Story Time tribe. While I was visiting the Dominican Republic with other Youth delegates we went to el monument a las heroes de la Restauración.  This tourist attraction in Santo Domingo is the highest building in the area. It has a beautiful park surrounding it but also a dark history. According to our guide, this monument was built by a dictator as he set his mark on their country. Typical dictator stuff, the guy has a bigger ego than I do lol. 😜😛 This dictator was known as  Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina.  He built El Monumento a la Paz de Trujillo in 1944. After his assassination in 1961, the monument was renamed Monumento a las heroes de la Restauración. Despite its dark history, it's still a beautiful place. I enjoyed the scenery, imagine how many people it took to build this massive historical site. I like getting a feel of a country their history. It can tell you so much about what created their present.  I hope you guys have fun exploring Santo Domingo during your travel. I made a short video about my visit to El Monumento a las heroes de la Restauración. Safe travels and until next time right here on Story Time.
