The old fort overlooking the ocean at Puerta Plata, Dominican Republic. The burro adds a nice touch. We went to the northern part of the island for a training that was to start at 4 p.m. and since we would be finished late we stayed the night, went to church there and then made the four hour drive back to our home. There were so many beautiful things to see along the way that we stopped now and then a took a few pictures.

Looking towards the mountains on our ride back to Santo Domingo. The mountains in the DR are the tallest in the Caribbean. The elevation goes from sea level to over 10,000 feet.
Another "living fence" This is cacti! There were some that were over 10 feet tall and a lot thicker!
Along the road going home were several flower stands and all were beautiful. They were set up along the mountain road...where they came from wasn't evident.
One of the beaches in Puerta Plata...not as pretty as the ones closer to town.
One of several golf courses we saw along the way. Apparently Puerta Plata is a big tourist town.
This is NOT an uncommon sight...this is the family car for a lot of people down here!
they must not have seat belt laws...ha.
