After a very warm night without Air Conditioner and only a ceiling fun operated by sporadic electricity blackouts, we enjoyed a refreshing night sleep, much needed after a long week of work. Our hotel had a small balcony view in the back and an open third floor view to gorgeous crystal waters accompanied by a fresh breeze. Since it was Sunday we were expecting a mellow, quiet day in the city, but it looked like it was pretty much alive with people walking on the street and going on with their daily chores.
After a nutritious breakfast with eggs, coffee and juice we headed out to a long 5 hour drive back South to Santo Domingo. The trip was very pleasant; Sapun and Rich gave us short D.R. History class from our handy Lonely Planet guide book. This was very useful and practical. As we drove through the country, we noticed that the majority of the city signs are sponsored by Brugal, D.R.’s famous rum,...interesting. We saw many rice plantations, a fallen horse (kind of odd!) and nice dark green trees. This was a restful day, except for the evening when we had a long and very much needed meeting, interrupted by phone calls and some other distractions. After a Pizza Hut dinner and top ramen soup for me we got ready for another long week.

Sapun, I think, wins the award for least comfortable sleeping positions EVER.

This picture makes my neck hurt. I like the new look, Sapun.
