Time Goes By So Fast!

We have had a great time while Tanya’s father Bob was here! The week flew by so fast!

We did many things while Bob was here, ate out quite a bit, visited Puerto Plata, went to the waterfall, toured Luperon, and before leaving yesterday we rode the cable car to the top of Mt. Isabel. The week was a blur so I will let the pictures tell the story…

We had a nice breakfast at Puerto Blanco Marina one morning:

In addition to good food they also have free wifi:

 We walked over to the beach one day. From the harbor to the beach you walk past a large hotel complex that closed several years ago:

It is (or was) holy week, everyone goes to the beach and celebrates. We sat down, ate and had a couple of Presidentes:

Then walked the beach. On the other side of the jetty is the hotel beach:

It’s hot so we had to have ice cream:

And of course one or two nights at Wendy’s Bar. Me and Ivan:

Saturday night there was a huge celebration in the town square, sea of people, live music. It was fun but we stayed out way too late:

We took Bob back to the airport yesterday:

Stopped along the way to ride the cable car up Mt Isabel De Torres:

On the way back to Luperon we stopped at La Sirena, similar to Super Walmart, to do some shopping. Unfortunately we spotted a Domino’s Pizza in the food court and we were starving. Demolishing an excellent pizza:

That’s it for now. We are still here waiting on a weather window to head east!
