Enjoying the Dominican Republic

We are still in Luperon; the winds have been 20-30 knots which is too high for leaving so we have been making the best of our time here. 

We went on the 27 waterfalls tour yesterday and slid down 7 of them as that is all we had time for. Ed and I also jumped off the cliff of the last waterfall.  It was a great adrenaline rush. We also enjoyed the company of Bill and Jeannie and Cathy and Larry of two other boats and they were along for the waterfall tour. 

In addition to the waterfalls we saw people carving soapstone, roasting cocao beans and we crushed some coffee beans. It was a very nice day.

We were escorted by Rosa VanSant; her husband is Bruce VanSant the author of the Gentlemens Guide to Passages South which is an important guide for people traveling down island. We were able to meet him last Sunday at a luncheon. We have also enjoyed trivia night here. Tonight there is a full moon party.




Prices are low here, beers are less than $2!
