Dominican Republic


(picture is of some local boys down the street)



Hi all, here goes our first blog....



I will type and M with edit (critique). We made it home safe and healthy after 8 days in the Dominican. We spent 3 days in Santiago, the second largest city in the country. Here we learned how to drive with absolutely no regard for streets signs and basic rules of the road. Passing on a blind corner of a two lane highway...perfectly fine. Red light...stopping optional. One way street...only until you see someone coming towards you. Motorcycles in the US seat two people...in the Dominican they seat a family of four while carrying a ladder. The video was taken near the beach so it doesn't really show the city driving, but still worth the viewing. Sorry this is the wrong vidoe check the next one out




L was a trooper for the entire trip. We are so proud of her. Here is a shot of her with A at the mom's house in Santiago . Another one of her on the airplane sitting in daddy's seat.

Here is mommy on the beach of Puerto Plato and daddy in the pool.

























Well out of time for this one. I know it is not much but a start.

This is so great! I had no idea you guys were in the Dominican, how did that piece of news not get passed down to North Carolina? Can't wait to see more!
