DR - Blogabond

Had an opportunity to head to the DR as some friends own some property there and they invited Ambereen and I to visit for Christmas. Took the red-eye and made it there by mid afternoon. Had a very brief visit with Mike before he headed to Atlanta then we had the place to ourselves for a few days. Hit the beach and relaxed. driving down there is something I wouldn't recommend for my father though. Between the cars and motoconchos (small motorcycles) not obeying any "rules of the road" it was pretty nerve wracking. Nothing like Pakistan from what I'm told, but not fun nonetheless. Brugal rum, the amber museum, hookers in Sosua and roadside stands were interesting. The hookers from what I saw - no personal experience there. Great weather other than three solid days of rain and some nice beaches. Got home to snow and cold so miss it already.
