I just returned from a wonderful 5 day trip. Instead of delivering the common monotonic Day 1, Day 2 ect. report or relaying specifics that some might not want to hear, I am going to give a dilutive version.
During the 5 days I had the pleasure of visiting Sosua, Cabarete, Puerto Plata, Santiago and Jarabacoa. Although the country is mired in a tough economic period resulting in a diminished nightlife its beautiful aesthetics naturally remain. Driving through Cabarete without stopping to experience its enormous beautiful beach would be a sin. Ditto for Sosua and its lively beach. A walk along the Malecon in Puerto Plata is a relaxing opportunity for introspective reflection. Gazing out into the ocean i recieved an eerie sense of its timelessness and power. Driving over the mountain from puerto plata to santiago is a beautiful scenic treat of rolling high mountains and deep green valleys. I picked a few spots along the hour long adventure to stop and film some of the scenery with my camcorder. Jarabacoa is equally beautiful. I did not get to see its famous waterfalls but I did get to see some of its rivers and they are incredibly beautiful. I also spent some time in a nice park, which I bvelieve is in the center of Jarabacoas town, watching the beautiful Dominican women walk by. During the drive back down from Jarabacoa to Santiago, as I breathed in the cool tropical night air, I experienced a wonderful feeling of both comfort and bliss that I cant seem to achieve in the USA. With each visit to the DR I become increasingly enamored with it. This trip reconfirmed my intention to land myself permenantly on Dominican soil sooner rather than later.
I want to thank my old friends from DR1 that I got to see and the new ones I was lucky enough to meet. I also want to thank all the beautiful Dominican people i crossed paths with. Thank you for enhancing my vacation and enriching my life.
