We’re still here in the Dominican Republic.
Yesterday we hired a car to go pick up Tanya’s father at the airport in Puerto Plata. Despite our insistence that we had plenty of time, the driver raced across the countryside getting us to the airport in what we believe maybe record time. Once we arrived we had two hours to kill so we went upstairs to the café, had cheeseburgers and papas fritas, used the free wifi, got more pesos, and waited in the air conditioning. Once Bob arrived we jumped back into the car and raced back to Luperon…setting another land speed record. Despacio, Despacio!
Off to Puerto Plata:
Random shots of the DR countryside. Can we stop? “No No.” I’m surprised they came out considering how fast we were going:
Puerto Plata Airport, very clean and very open-air. On our way to the café I had to take a picture of these ceiling fans, they are at least 30 feet across and wow, they can move some air!
After lunch we went to “Llegadas” and waited for Tanya’s father:
Bob llego’:
Back through Puerto Plata:
DR countryside:
Bob brought some goodies including a new VHF antenna and our mail! Thanks for the Christmas cards!!!
Today was kind of rainy so we just walked around town. We had a really nice lunch at D’ La France where we ate pizza, salads and chicken, very French! After a great lunch we headed to the market for some fresh carrots and bananas, then stopped at “Wendy’s” to see what is playing for movie tonight, then headed back to Dea Latis for siesta!
I think we’re going in to watch True Grit, have some Presidentes and eat a hot dog or two!
