Roxanne- Hola! We are now in Las Terrenas doing volunteer work for the Fundacion Mahatma Gandhi. So first I will tell you about the town and such. Las Terrenas is in the Peninsula de Samana (you can see it on our map) and it is absolutely beautiful. The mountains come almost up to the beaches and are covered in palm trees and other tropical plants. The beach is also beautiful (stacie and i go every morning) and the water is crystal clear. It´s a medium siz...

roxanne- Hola! alrighty so after Jarabacoa we went to Santiago on Saturday for a night.

The Domican´s definetly love there ron. They poured it down our throats the whole day and if you decided that you had enough they...

Roxanne-- Okay, so still playing catch up. We arrived in Bayahibe in the early afternoon and basically just walked around and sat at the bar and had a presidente (the dominican´s bud light). For dinner we were pretty cocky from our expert traveling and forgot mosquito spray and a spanish dictionary. So, we kind of pointed at stuff and got bitten like crazy. Food was decent. We were in our room rubbing itch cream on our bites when stacie spotted a large dark...
