Puerta Plata

  As mentioned on the previous post, seeing this area was a big goal.  The drive up was quite interesting, though pretty long.  We did see the country!  The end was worth it, though.  Just sharing a few shots of the beach back of our hotel--and early morning we were there alone!
 yes, those are beds on the beach! (taken from surfside)
   so nice to be out on our beach!
So, I guess you could say this is the "sun and sand" part of this blog!  Loved the warm sea water!  Nice pool too and we had that to ourselves early in the morning!  Afternoon was much busier at both places.We stayed at the Blue Jack Tar and enjoyed the included big breakfast!
.
" I love my job!"  Our waiter exclaimed for the second time as he served our mango sorbet with chinola glaze.  (Chinola is a rather unattractive fruit that is delicious inside--a lesson in not judging by the exterior.  Juice is made from it.  In some other places it is called "passion fruit," but here it is chinola.  The other dessert at our table was a small chocolate volcano.  While we enjoyed the snapper--boneless, but not headless and the mashed yucca with cheese, our friends had the churasco (sp/) steak and the fried sweetened bananas.
