I could hear the birds singing in the trees behind the yard and the butterflies teased me by flying so close, but not sitting still.
Rebecca and I did a bit of swimming and I think Don and Bryn came in the pool some too.
It was so nice and warm in the morning sunshine.
After we had a bit of breakfast and enjoyed a slow and relaxed morning, we got ready to go and explore a bit of the town of Puerto Plata.

| I would love to have this start to my day each morning |
 |
| Rebecca doing her laps |
 |
| The only butterfly that sat still for a few seconds |
 |
| Vivid colours were all around |
 |
| Where is Bryn? |
 |
| Our vacation house in Sosua for the first couple of days |
 |
| I called this one the Don Quiote house |
 |
| I might like to stay in this house one time - I love the colour |
 |
| It was a nice, safe campus |
 |
| Too bad this sign was not down at the main road to guide us in |
 |
| A river on the way back to town |
 |
| We all read the sign and thought of Toys R Us at home |
 |
| Our lunch time restaurant- first time to try out our Spanish skills in town and order some drinks and pizza. It was a nice place but we were the only patrons |
 |
| The fire hall down by the ocean |
 |
| At the old fort |
 |
| Fort San Felipe |
 |
| One little stand with things to buy |
 |
| Rebecca wanted to try some dulce con leche and the boy in the orange shirt got the money much to the older guys chagrin, as he certainly did try hard to get any of us to buy his maracas |
 |
| Sorry, too much money |
 |
| Glad I got her picture - and no I did not want a ride |
Looks like a fun trip!
