Day Two -- Sosua, Dominican Republic





A slow morning with brunch at the Don Andres restaurant. A spur of the moment trip to Cabarete, 15 miles away. Mike's first experience with the super-efficient and cheap Dominican mass transit system. Mike's comments as we walked the Cabarete beach, "This is the best beach I have ever seen." Then, a minibus guagua ride to Puerto Plata, where we look at the old Spanish fort at La Puntilla, take pictures of the port, then finally return to Sosua. The water is out in the whole town and the hotel cistern is dry. When will we be able to take a shower? No problem, the beach is nearby and my swim trunks are too dry. A passion for living turns the tropics much sweeter -- la vida es buena.
