... somewhat explains the blank stares when I asked for frijoles), and within minutes of asking the Comedor lady about Emma (a.k.a. la gringa que cuida a los perros), we were on a motoconcho heading to her house. Surprise!!<br><br>I felt bad dropping in on her unannounced, but it was great to see her. We knew we were at the right house when five dogs bounded out to greet us. Emma arrived in Cabrera more than two years ago with virtually no Spanish, but ...

... were shocked - shocked! - that the terrace-level rooms were $15 for the two of us. The rooms are basic and the terrace isn't well-maintained, but we walked out of our room to a wide expanse of ocean and a little beach off to the side. Really, the hotel made my week.<br><br>As soon as we checked in we headed back out for Playa Grande, supposedly one of the prettiest beaches in the area. It's hard to know how ...

Despues, fui en el autobus a el Parque Nacional los Haitses. Fui a mirar los aves y las flores y la vida de marina. Fui a acampar en el parque. Fui a comer la comida de tradicionales en el restaurante en el parque. Fui a comer champola, cual fue leche con guanábana. Me recomiendo que saca muchos fotos porque el bosque es muy bonito.<br><br>

Hello Friends! April has arrived and the world is heating up a lot! Cinderella, my 9 month old puppy, and I are doing alright although she did eat something terribly toxic this week. We gave her a round of antibiotics and I believe she is on the up and up now. Semana Santa begins tomorrow and the beaches in Samana will be very crowded. I hope to stay away from all the people. This week ...

... all sensitive to motion sickness. We saw a pair of whales spout &amp; dive several times, so that was neat. Saturday night was so much fun for me because we found some live music at a bar that was playing merengue and bachata. I got to do a lot of dancing, including one song with the ensemble's lead singer...who was highly impressed by my bachata skills. Not so cool were the several pairings of old ...

... catcher´s gear would be preferible, especially if playing the infield. While the fields here are rough and ugly, it is fields like these that produce some of MLB´s best players, as it is not uncommon for both the AL and NL to boast a handful of Dominicans on their all-star teams each July. As the papers here show in large, color photos with catchy headlines, the Dominicans excelling in the US leagues are heroes and a source of ...

... read on the topic. Neither Goatgirl nor I intend to end up in a Turkish prison. I would like to stress that neither Goatgirl nor I are alcoholics. Almost in time for sun set we head out along the beach once more to grab a couple of Cuba Libre´s under Coconut Palms. Hell we can talk the two of us... Our final meal here in Las Terrenas was at our favourite Pizza joint right above the sands. Ironically I left my sunglasses on the table. Another $3 investment down the drain, lost forever.

... the city monthly for various reasons. And my primary objective will be the development of youth sports teams in the town. They dont have many tangible resources (IE: baskbetball courts, baseball fields, or sports equiptment) so I will also be working to secure these items. So as Adelle (our Youth Development Coordinator) is telling me this I am getting really pumped because it sounds like a great match. And then, in her sweet little British accent, she drops the bomb ...

... use the islands as breeding grounds, which is the reason why a lot of snakes also call this place home. I was completely surprised and dumbfound when I first saw the mangrove jungles. Suddenly in the middle of the ocean I spotted a forrest - in the water. These trees really grow in the middle of the water. Mature trees drop a seeds into the water, which then grows from the ...

... and mopeds and pretty girls... Quite an experience - everyone was enjoying it - except for us since we couldn't pass and were forced to ride it out - they had radios mounted on bicycles and scooters! After an additional 2 hours of parading we switched at a meeting point to a smaller bus and started the drive from Hell. Up and down over steep hills, dirt paths and serpentine roads. Not to ...
