Arrival in the D.R.

Luperon, Dominican Republic
June 1, 2006

Hola Amigos! We are now in the Dominican Republic! Luperon is a small town/village on the north coast and we are safely anchored in the Bahia Luperon (harbor). We arrived on Monday, May 22 after an overnight sail from Big Sand Cay in the Turks and Caicos.

We are planning to work on our Spanish and see the sights of this beautiful country! Hispaniola, the second largest island (after Cuba) in the Caribbean, is comprised of the Dominican Republic and Haite. It is green and mountainous, featuring the highest mountain peak in the Caribbean islands at over 10,000 feet. Quite a change from the low-lying, dry islands of the Bahamas. There is much to see here, waterfalls, beaches, spanish colonial architecture, and even possibly the bones of Columbus are buried here. Plenty to keep us occupied for a while!

Stay tuned for a more detailed update on our adventures in the D.R.

Hasta luego!
