Dominican Republic

October 12-16, 2001
These are my first "real" dives after my certification. We had a wonderful time!!

I couldn't resist this picture. Richard had just gotten a new camera and this looked like a postcard to me!!

Here's the little "lizardo" that we still couldn't figure out how to say in spanish...

Left: This is the view of the golf course from the hotel suite.

Below: This was our view at breakfast every morning. It stormed our last day there and we sat here and watched the black clouds roll in and cover the ocean. It was beautiful!!

This was our "Vette" for the week.

Below: I've never seen such perfect palm trees!!

There are so many pictures of me...Richard is much better at swimming and holding the camera then I am. I managed to bump him while I was swimming and knock him into some fire coral...oops...it was worse when I was trying to hold something as well.

All of the underwater pictures turned out wonderfully!! The colors underwater are amazing!!

These pictures were taken at Altos de Chavon. It's a 16th Century village that was rebuilt. The view was breathtaking!!

We had such a wonderful time on this trip. We spent everyday diving and ate lobster and steak for dinner every night. Ok so we felt the need to go track down a McDonald's at one point, but it was great!! We got to order in Spanish and everything!!
