I just finished reading "Treasure Island"--there are parts of the Dominican Republic that truly are a treasure. Puerta Plata is one of them in my experience. This is a scene from the cable car ascending to Pico Isabel de Torres at 2600 ft. Incredible!

Dominican flora
Sunday, May 13, 2012
We see olives in various shades of ripeness as we walk along the Anacoana trail each morning. Black olives are obviously not nearly as appreciated as black ones because these are just falling on the ground to be trampled. Big black pitted ones are more expensive than green ones in the stores, however.

A delicate balance
This mangrove swamp on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic protects the island and its wildlife from the havoc of its frequent hurricanes. They call this red mangrove, one of many kinds, though I couldn't see that the roots looked red. There are no dangerous or poisonous animals on this island--maybe the hurricanes provide enough fear.
