During one of our many walks on Cabarete beach by our resort. These dogs were chasing each other around.
Also along our beach. Locals took one of these out to fish in the surf during our stay.
The view from our patio.
Same view at night - some of the palm trees were lit up for Christmas.
My obsession with doors begins. This was along the beach.
Cabarete beach, near Puerto Plata, is known for wind and kite surfing.
Lunch at Sando's
Kite surfing. On Sunday, all of the locals aren't working so the beach was flooded.
Cock fighting during one of our excursions. They put tiny boxing gloves on so they wouldn't hurt each other.
Stopped at a school in one of the small towns.
Grapefruits along the side of the road
This woman has 13 children and made coffee and chocolate for us. Sshh, I didn't claim it with customs when I brought some back.
We traveled in an open air truck - the view out the back
At a stoplight. Driving is almost as intense here as in Vietnam - there may be lines on the road but there are no rules.
Dinner on the beach
Decorations outside Jose O'Shea's Irish Pub
On our second excursion to Paradise Island. We took one of these boats to the tiny sandbar
Too good not to capture

How many rum & cokes does it take to make this photo?
Holding on for dear life on our way back
Along the drive back
