Senior couples and Friday night at the Adrian Tropical Restaurant

 This side of the building is quite peaceful and scenic.  The restaurant is just off a busy, noisy highway.

 Elder Low and Elder Roberts are both attorneys.  Elder and Sister Low are from Canada.  He serves as assistant legal council for the church.  The Roberts are from Arizona and are serving as PEF missionaries.

 Left to right: The Hammons are Welfare missionaries from Cheyenne Wyoming;Elder Ford and his wife are the secretaries for the SD West Mission office;The Glaziers are the MTC president(When they are finished here they will have spent 10 years serving in Spanish speaking assignments); Eickbushes are the SD East Mission secretaries.  He was the US Surveyor General; and the McDermids from Canada.  They are both licensed mental health professionals who do that very thing in the Caribbean and Central America.  A very diverse fun group!

 We all had some good samples of native cooking.  The steak was said to be very good

 The chicken cordon bleu came with carrots and tayota a local vegetable.  The barbecued chicken was served on a wooden slab along with a side dish of boiled yuca...which was a lot like a potato and tasty.

We discovered these fun paintings as we were getting ready to leave the parking lot.

Getting around in the DR

A moto can be the family transportation

All ages enjoy the moto

Waiting for the light to change

First off when the light changes

A moto can be a work horse - this one a load of bread



This one has a real load



This is our brand new wheels - what do you think?

A new one owner, one passanger

Casa de Campo



Couples at Casa de Campos



 Sister Kilgore and Sister Snow chilling in the pool

 One of the sitting rooms.  The sliding doors all slid together so the glass wall was open and it felt like the ourdoors and the indoors had all become one.  The weather was perfect to just leave the doors open!

 The lovely kitchen looked out over the pool and there was enough room for a lot of helpers.

         Lynn found a small replacement for the horses he left at home...the hat was just a bonus

 Behind us was a river and behind that was the Caribbean Ocean

                        No golf today, but it is fun to look anyway

                                   Teeth of the Dog: one of the top 30 courses in the world!

                                      These pictures help explain why...

           ... but with the beautiful views how can a golfer concentrate on the game??

 The chapel is part of a little village that was built by a over indulgent father for his daughters 16th birthday!

This theater was in the village too.  It reminded us of the one in St. George but it had green grass instead of red rocks.

Almost everything is gated

Most every home, apartment, and business has a security gate


 



Most gates have a guard just inside 24/7 and many of guard are armed with a sawed off shotgun




Some gates open manually and others run on a remote opener




Some are a work in progress








Making gates would be a great business here
