"Oompa Loompa doo-pa-dee doo / I've got another puzzle for you / Oompa Loompa doo-p-dee dee / If you are wise you'll listen to me / Who do you blame when your kid is a brat / Pampered and spoiled like a Siamese cat / Blaming the kids is a lie and a shame / You know exactly who's to blame? / The mother and the father / Oompa Loompa doo-p-dee dah / If you're not spoiled, then you will go far / You will live in happiness, too / Like the Oompa Loompa doo-p-dee doo."

Thank you for those pictures. This is the Sendero de Cacao just outside San Francisco de Macoris heading toward Tenares. It is run by the Rizek family and nice place to spend half a day. The guy doing the tour is Norberto who is actually from Argentina. Miguel is the usual tour guide and chocolatier. I spent quite a bit a time hanging out there last summer and buying chocolate bars.
