Home From the Dominican

Sunrise on the beach at Punta Cana

What a fabulous vacation the four of us had last week in the Dominican Republic.  The weather could not have been more perfect while we were there.  It was 85 every day, and we didn’t see any rain.  The water was warm, and yes, it really is that beautiful turquoise color.

We got up each day at 7 and walked out to the beach with our towels.  You have to claim your beach chairs early if you want one.  Each morning after staking our beach area out, we took a walk.  The sunrise was gorgeous as you can see, and the exercise was something we don’t get enough of at home.  Long, barefoot walks in the sand is something I am not used to, and consequently, my calves were a bit sore toward the end of the week.  I have never been to a place like that the first week of January, and it sure beats the heck out of the snow and sub-zero weather we are having now at home.

I recommend this vacation to everyone.  It is very inexpensive, and relaxing.  Drop me a line if you want more details.
