Los Tres Ojos, meaning the Three Eyes, has in spite of its name four ponds. The first pond is of a perfect aquamarine tone, the second is the smallest and its water is sulfurous. The third, and biggest, is fresh water and has strong undercurrents. The most beautiful pond is the fourth pon…

I was talking to a good friend the other day; a normal enough conversation–things happening in my life, things happening in hers. We spoke of homes, friends, life aspirations, but I came away from the conversation…sad. Very, very sad. It took me a while to put my finger on WHY I was sad. In…

Getting off a cruise ship is my other least favorite part of the vacation.  You need to be out of your cabin and wait for your turn to leave the ship.  We had a good breakfast in the Windjammer buffet and said our last goodbyes to the Legend.   We were off the ship at 9:00 a.m. and…

It was a wonderful tuesday morning and my friends and I had nothing to do so we decided to fill the tank with gas and go to the beach. Here are some pictures of Boca Chica Beach just outside of Santo Domingo City in the Dominican Republic. ENJOY!!!

For my birthday my mom decided to give me a very nice gift. She paid for my best friend to visit me from Las Vegas and spend the weekend with me. She had never come here before so >I was very exited to show her around. She came Friday the 18 and left Tuesday the 22. It was only 4 days but we had too much fun! Hope you enjoy the pictures...I will be putting more after she e-mails me the rest!

I graduated in 2005, and that same summer came back to live in the Dominican Republic. I went back to visit for 5 days only (=[) a yr after to visit my friends and some family members and these are some pictures. hope you enjoy.

One of my great impressions of the DR is that most everyone seemed to be quite happy with life. Lots of big smiles from people and laughter could be heard around every corner (as well as the shuffling and clickity-clacking of domino tiles). I've never seen a place with so many locals just.. hangin …
