Some people prefer the beach and others the mountains, I enjoy both. I’m equally happy hiking through mountain trails or strolling along the waters edge at the beach. I think it’s just being surrounded by God’s creation that allures me.

When you give a colorful parachute to kids it provides so much fun. We were able to meet the little guy on the left last year while we were in the Dominican Republic. I was excited to see him again and I don’t think he has changed at all over  the past year.

I really wanted to put a palm umbrella and a beach chair on this point and wait for the sun to set.

Before this trip to the Dominican Republic, I had never had mango fresh from the tree. The mangos were not completely ripe yet but it was still very tasty, it reminded me of a Granny Smith apple.

The guys in my family group would throw rocks into a group of mangos to knock them out of the tree and so we could have a nice midday snack.

Last year while in the Dominican Republic, I was able to ride a mule owned by one of the man in the village. I’m not sure it this in the same one from last year but I would have jumped at the chance to ride again this year.
