Remember what I said about silky sand? You have to feel this to believe it!

Samana Bay

Just to let you know about the other side of the DR--incredibly azure water and sand that feels like silk between your toes!

This beautiful bay is where the great humpback whales do their yearly cavorting from January to March. They return at the same time next year to give birth to their young.

A common sight on the highways of the DR that would never be allowed in the USA! How many bodies can one small pickup actually transport?
