One of the views at Tres Ojos National Park. An absolute must see if you are every in Santo Domingo. 100 pesos for hours of endless beauty.

Tansy and I rented a tandem! It took us a little while to get the hang of it but we caught on quick. We rented it for an hour and it was a great way to see the city.

Posing because we can. (Mckenna, Your truly, Ellie)

This bird wanted me to feed him rather than take a picture.

Dominos at the park.

Carnival starts today! That means that more and more people are going to be walking around dressed up.

What a weekend! We fit a lot into a short amount of time. We got to see a lot of culture which was amazing. We also got to eat american fast food which some might argue was equally amazing when you have been eating white rice for a month. Taxi drivers try to take advantage of us because we are not from here. Every ride is a constant battle about the price.
A gentlemen that had far to much to drink bought my entire group dinner when we went out for Italian. We tried to stop him but he insisted. No one knows if he will remember, but his wallet will.
We headed back to Puerto Plata this morning. We decided to take the 6 AM bus back. We were supposed to use our hotels taxi but he was very VERY late. We could not get out of the gate without him because he had the key. When he arrived I informed him that our bus was leaving very soon. I am not going to give the details about how we made it on time to our bus, because my parents read this blog, but we made it safe and sound. When we got back to our house it was locked and the other girls took the keys with them. So we again, found ourselves suck.

However, now we are back in our house happy and exhausted. It was fun to go site seeing but it feels good to be back in my home away from home. I am excited to see my kiddos in the morning!
