Listen to Sounds in the Dominican Republic
10 to 15-foot swells on passage to Dominican Republic. Alex seasick for four days. Uplifted by seeing the jutting cliffs and palm tree lined coast. Stay at magical Marina Puerto Bahia. Kids roaming free. Feels like a daily block party. Margot in her happy place. Motorcycles everywhere on roads; front, back, side to side. Babies and propane tanks on motorcycles. Loud music blaring from all directions. Kids enter school at Samana International Academy. School set in the trees overlooking the bay, with animals running around. Surfing at Playa Bonita in Las Terrenas. Alex starts open water swim group. Epic rock climbing at remote Playa Frontón. Hats get blown off at Boca del Diablo blow hole. Whales breaching off shore. Eric discovers a love of the sport Pádel. Ziplining over 200 feet in the air. Leon eats his first chicken foot. Hard to say goodbye to friends in the DR.
