"Eh, Pepito!" Vatican City, Rome, Italy
My friends and I were able to go to the Vatican on a Sunday while visiting there. This was St. Peters square while waiting to see the Pope come to his window. Hundreds of people were holding banners and signs representing their organizations hoping to be seen by the Pope, and this agricultural group had yellow everywhere!

"Paradise" Bahía de las Águilas, República Dominicana
We traveled by public transportation (including buses, motorcycles, and vans) for 12 hours each way to reach this amazing beach off the Caribbean coast. It was in a very remote part of the country, and not many people venture out that far. This was absolutely the most amazing view I have ever seen, and it was completely worth the 24 hours of travel for one weekend.
