Other sites in the Dominican!

Although Rachel & Bryce's wedding is what brought us to the Dominican we did soak up some other Dominican fun........enjoy!!!

Well what can I say...........the wool was pulled over my eyes.........AND GOOD!!! The best part of the trip for me was the HUGE surprise that come knockin' at our hotel room door..........DARYL & LORI(my brother and SIL)!!!!

We did most everything together, and they really added to the fun of the trip! I got to go scuba diving with Daryl(although I didn't do so good this time around, couldn't breath very well, and got sorta sea sick when we came up(never puked though)).

The other big highlight was going white water rafting.........it all seems like a dream!!! I am so glad I didn't fall out of that raft.............it was one of those things that you are shakin' in your boots the whole time you are doing it, but once it's over you are glad you did it.........if that makes any sense!?!?

The REAL sites & sounds of the Dominican are VERY similar to Mexico.......some not EASY to see!!!!


If I could have only got a full/front picture of this little guy......less than two, begging, in bare feet on ground that I would have a hard time walking on.........hard to see!!!


children begging & catching crayfish with Daryl!

traffic jam

mandarin oranges

banana's.........of course!

wild poinsettias

It's such a JOY to take pictures of people that find it SO easy to smile(a true genuine SMILE).......thank you Rachel, you made my job very easy!!! I can honestly say this young lady/beautiful bride did not take a bad picture ALL DAY........and that is REALLY something!!!





Although this is not the greatest picture........I love it!!! A true memory of the day.....bride ready to roll, but no where to go........her ride was running on Dominican time, and all the guests were waiting.........Dad to the rescue.......calling to see what the HOLD UP was!!!!
