la playa

Leti and I have been to Sosua and Cabarete, two very different beaches but both fabulous. We enjoyed some pineapple on the beach in Cabarete- yes please!

A couple of days later in Sosua we had our first real Dominican food- fresh fish, rice, beans, ensalada, and fried plantains. There is a fabulous little restaurant hidden off the main road where all the locals go to get the best fish. The cook literally held up the entire fish from the kitchen for me to see before he started cooking it, can't get much fresher than that!















We are in Cabarete for 4th of July weekend. My last summer here there were actually fireworks and a U2 cover band, what?! Apparently last year there was nothing, so we'll see what tomorrow has in store. Cara's family just got into the country and are at the beach with us; we are going to grill out at their condo tomorrow. I hear its been raining a lot in Texas, hopefully the weather will stay gorgeous here for our bbq!
