Snorkling Trip





Ian and Lindsay

All these pictures were taken by the photographer that came on the boot. She had scuba gear.





This guy was a 2nd Leiutenant or something in the Marines.

Dad mustache didn't let the mask seal properly so it kept filling with salt water.

Scooter Traffic

My brother, Ian, and his girlfriend, Lindsay

Lunch by the pool. Mmmmm, veal burgers. (Lindsday, Ian, Dad, me, Tim)

One of the pools at the Riu Bachata

Dad at the beach. 2 drinks.

The north beach shore.

The swim up bar and another topless old woman.

Lindsay has fun at the swim-up bar.

I'm reading "The Once & Future King" by T.H.White

A school we stopped at on the 8x8 tour. It's supported by the tour company.

Me and my 8x8 truck.

If you take a picture with a local they expect you to give them money.

View from the truck.

More hills.

Juanito, out tour guide.

At the "typical farm".

Hunch back girl at the "typical farm".

Village on the tour.

I forget the name, but they make bowls out of the large ones and maracas out of the small ones.

Swimming at the river. I dove in right after this. The water was so warm!!

This is where I met Jenny and Ryan.

We had to cross the river 3 times before we reached the ranch where we swam at the river. Lost one ladder and one strut.



Stuck on traffic on the way back during rush hour.

Local shops.

Still in the traffic jam.

Still reading. More topless old ladies.

The beach in the bay.

Same beach.

The maids leave towel sculptures if you tip them. We also had a sea turtle.

Snorkling.

5...4...3...2...1..-barf- (seconds before I was seasick)

More suntanning.

Ryan and Jenny. Jenny had fun at the swim up bar the day before. :p

Caribean street. You had to haggle for everything. And then you still paid too much.

North beach again.

The rooms.
