Monte Cristi

Monte Cristi's a fair distance from Sosua, and there's not that much to do in the town, but there's a mountain there, right next to the ocean, and when you cross it, that's where the road ends.

And once you get to the end, there it is, one of the most beautiful deserted beaches in the world.

Great shots Rocky! Monti Cristi environs are beautiful.Lord Bruno is lookin' good as well as the other members of your entourage. There's another great beach to the east of El Morro? ( what does that mean by the way) but I think it is only accessible by boat. Eat any good seafood while there?

Cheers,
Sollie

I think that it means "nose", although I don't know if that's what it means in this case.

We didn't eat any fish or go to any other beaches.
That beach behind El Morro was so awesome, that we stayed there for hours.
We did make a little picnic on the way there.

It's one of those "simple pleasures" adventures that you remember for the rest of your life.

Glad you enjoyed.
Maybe you have some "loca" pix to add to the collection?

LOL! Sorry but no such like, they're censored!!;) Truthfully, I dont have any, I personally loves shots of nature and scenery. I always feel that the people in my life are in my heart and on my mind so I tend not to capture them on film so to speak.

Rocky: You know the thing about just taking a ride to the country...anywhere...is probably the best advice anyone could get. I do that all the time, and I could say that the most pleasant times I've had in The DR have turned out from just taking a ride somewhere, anywhere without planning anything. Just make sure to have nice company with you...

Sometimes I would start out from Cotui and end up in Puerto Plata, Moca, Azua, you name it... You can just stop anywhere for drinks, food, etc...You end up bumping into beaches you didn't know existed, little places by the side of the road that may have the best food you ever tasted, nice views, etc...I love it.

Best of all, since it is an island and it's not that huge you can just leave in the morning and be back that same day...

Suarezn.
I was looking to underline the "special" parts of your post, but all of it is special, because you understand what it's all about.
There's no way to say it better than what you just wrote.
Life's best and most memorable moments, come from the adventures you describe.

These pix below are all taken within a 20 mile radius of Sosua.
It had all the ingredients you mentioned.
No plans, good company, and a ride to nowhere.

Rocky these Pics are so awesome, and I may not be able to wait till november to come down to visit.

I just wanted to ask are prunes and ensure normal picnic fare? My father lives in an assisted living facility and even he prefers a nice sandwich for his picnic.

Just giving you a bit of grief both are great energy providers and travel well, just need to remember extra depends for when the prunes kick in i guess!

Now don't be teasing me too much about my picnic stuff, or I'll start posting bikini pix.

Camp David

Feeling hungry?
Jump in the car, head up the Caretera Turistica towards Santiago, stop and buy some fresh fruit.

Then head on up to Camp David, Trujillo's Cibao home in the mountains, check out his old cars.

It's all good

Life's an adventure, and Sosua is so well located for all sorts of adventures.
Even dumping your bike in a river, can be fun.
