We are so fortunate to have been able to enjoy this part of the DR with Lynette, Richard, Mary and Don. They leave tomorrow for Florida and Georgia.......... And together we have driven past these piles of stone alongside the highway.......... Almost all of the construction in the DR is in concrete and cement blocks....... but to do a quality finish you add a natural stone exterior........ It is amazing to see these piles of slab stone and even sheets of "SLATE" more than 8ft long and only 1 inch thick, and various other varieties of stone........... There is even a pile of old Spanish bricks............ Take your pick, load it up, pay for it and drive away..........
Lynette and Richard getting in their sailing practice in these protected waters on a 'Sunfish' and all of us for the necessary "photo op" at the pool in their hotel, the 'Don Juan Beach Resort'..............This is an all-inclusive resort..... all you can eat and all you can drink.............Don and Richard are brothers and at times we have trouble telling them apart........... Mary and Lynette are easier...... Here on the right with Mary making her 'sarong' selection............
The weather continues to be incredibly hot, grey and humid, ................... visibility down to a mile or less and the Laurie mumbling comments like......."This would be great if I were a banana tree,... but I'm not ... God' it's hot"........
Preparations for hurrcane season are now on our mind and with excellent internet service we have been exploring potential hiding places in Puerto Rico.....The season promises to be more active than normal if there is such a thing as NORMAL....
Meantime we are secure on our mooring and next week we fly to meet my son, Remy and his family and even meet the youngest grandchild for the first time............... Friends and Family............ It doesn't get any better than that............. HASTA LUEGO..... See you later.................
We are learning Spanglish one word at a time......
