La Romana, Domincan Republic

All of our mornings (except one) began the same way:  Blue Iguana for breakfast burritos. And mimosas some days.
E went for habernero sauce.  Crazy kid.

We took a speed boat to Saona Island.  Here's the boat:

[Image] It was one WILD ride.  The sky and water were beautiful.

[Image] When we got to the island, E and I spent the entire time in the ocean.  [Image]
[Image] Rodd spent some time drinking beer and reading.
[Image] The view, looking up.
Then, back on the speedboat.

[Image] Next, we stopped for an hour at what they called "Natural Swimming Pool."  I have never, ever, been anywhere so beautiful.  Water was about 3 feet deep, totally sandy beach, giant star fish, and oh, the view. Amazing.

[Image] E got back in time for the day's scavenger hunt, and stayed for other activities. Rodd and I went to Serenity Deck. Nobody was up there! We stayed until it got dark and the bar was closing because it was windy.
[Image] At night, the three of us tried to watch a movie at the Dive-In Theater, but it was just too loud. Some people had been having a LOT of fun all day and were getting obnoxious.  But of course there were plenty of other fun options. [Image] Sports Square
