... the project in more detail, which I did, and then we asked for their participation and collaboration, which is going to be necessary if this project is going to be sustainable. The women seemed really keen, and also mentioned the political leader of the batey, who was not able to make the meeting. We ended by asking them to rally some more support, and to think about the location of where they would like to create the organic community garden.<br ...

... your own hands. We spent a lot of time wandering down the pedestrian strip of the Zona Colonial, where vendors sell their plastic junk and men play bouts of chess and dominoes on small tables in the middle of the road. We also made a side trip to the Amber Museum, which is almost as exciting as it sounds, but is pleasantly air conditioned. It's quite hot here, so even I am happy to poke my head in the cooler spots ...

... to have no doubt that she wasn't showing us the original. Sara had her credit card out, ready to suck it up and pay, but maybe that was the straw that broke her back. She refused to pay until she'd talked to a manager. The manager wasn't available, so Sara said to have the manager call us in our room when she was ready to meet with us. After we got to the room, Sara was disgusted and called and asked to speak to the ranking ...

... than Saturday! There were a bunch of stations with things like roast beef, peel-and-eat shrimp, and Asian stir-fry, all of which were very good. I hope that¡¦s more representative of the food than Saturday¡¦s buffet. Fingers crossed! I also have my fingers crossed that Sara will keep me entertained enough that I don¡¦t run out of reading material! I¡¦m 10 pages from finishing the first of three books that I brought, and it¡¦s only day two!

... and the one next door. Now Sara and I will both have beds and both have bathrooms...nice! I can't say I'm real impressed with the resort so far. The service has been just ok, the food at dinner was only mediocre, the beach has a really steep dropoff, and the water is extremely kelpy if you walk out past the first 2 feet. It feels like the slimy fingers of dead sailors are twining around your legs... However, the water temperature is heavenly, and it was hot and sunny today ...

As I mentioned before, I didn't do my homework. And the too good to be true price we paid for the week turned out that obviously there was a reason. May is the rainy season in DR. The day started out well - we hit up the beach and did some kayaking and swimming in the ocean and then headed to the pool where we planned to remain the rest of the day. But come later in the ...

On our first full day at the resort the weather was gorgeous - our soul intentions for this trip was to sit pool side and not move...utter relaxation...we managed to do a full day of this!<br><br>The pool was nice and it was the off season so it wasn't very crowded at all. Overall it was a great day and we enjoyed it very much. <br><br>We had dinner at the restaurant and this is ...

... turn the Caribbean pink. Men, women, children, grannies and several sharks descended on Jane (whom I thought milked it a bit) to help stem the flow of blood. I was left feeling awful on my own with only a few withering looks from the grannies to keep me company. Luckily for me there were no breakages or black eyes or I would have been in the dog house for sure. A great week, shame it was over, just when we were getting used to pizza and fruit juice on the beach!
