Dominican Day 1

We made it! It's been a super long day starting around 3:30AM! Flew from Pit to Atlanta to the Dominican arriving here at 2:30PM.

We flew through customs and then stepped out from the airport into the warm Dominican sun. As we walked to the exit, people crowded around the low barriers, eagerly straining to find loved ones and friends coming down the arrivals ramp.

To our surprise we saw my name on a piece of paper being held by a sister we'd never met! How thrilled we were to have her there to guide us to SamanĂ !

The bus (or Gua-Gua) ride was 2.5 hours long so we were able to see plenty of the country as we passed through various towns.

Riding on a cart up to the house, we had the suitcases on the roof, tied down with a rope! I wish we could have gotten a picture, but believe me it looked crazy! Fortunately, it was a short ride. Julia on the left.


Finally, we happily arrived safely at the house and after enjoying a delicious dinner of pasta and rice with beans we are ready to beat it to bed.

But, not before I catch me some Super Bowl!


And some Dexter's Lab in Spanish.




Tomorrow is a down day and we'll head to the supermercado and hopefully the beach!

Dominican Republic

I just realized, I never posted a link to my Dominican Republic pictures from way back in 2010  :P

These are just some select photos, I believe between the two of us we had 500?

Doctor vs. Sherlock

This is a pretty amazing mashup. I have to say, they did a most excellent job. Enjoy!



The website I saw this on was: Neatorama They have a great collection of Doctor Who awesomeness.
