Our trip to the dominican republic

We had a wonderful time in the Dominican republic. The scenery, the people the food........ We did everything from lounging on the beach to having lunch at a dominican families house coplete with chickens running in and out of the kitchen. Weather was perfect the whole week.We are going back very soon. I could go on and on but let the pictures tell the story

NOW 5 MONTHS IS STARTING TO FEEL TOO SHORT KNOWING THAT I HAVE TO RETURN BACK TO THE MELTING ICE CAP AREA IN THUNDER BAY ONTARIO AS A FINN BORN WOODPECKER THA TREE SHOT REMINDS ME OF HARD PECKING UP NORTH. WHICH THIS WOODEYS COUSIN DOES NOT APPRECIATE WHEN THE TREES GET TOUGH TO PECK AS A BIRD. I HOPE ONE DAY TU Y JO X ROADS. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CAMERA. THIS CRAZY PC OF MINE WONT ALLOW ME TO TYPE LIKE YOURS BUT ITS MAKING ASS SYMBOLS AND ALL KIND OF ET LANGUAGE SO MUCH FOR EEMAIL CONTACT UNTIL I GET AN IPS SERVER IN DR . A SAMPLE OF THIS BS- IS äää bAA åä _-öö
