Kathryn Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Ryan has been doing a great job of documenting our trip, but I have some photos he doesn’t have. On the 6th day of the biennial, several green team members selected option B for the day. Andrea Searle, Judy Norris, Claude Roatta and I hired a taxi to show us around for the day. Our first stop was at a beach about 30 minutes from the hotel in Barahona. There wasn’t any sand, just beach pebbles that gave a great foot massage. Does anyone recognize these toes? Judy and I are enjoying the refreshing surf. Click Here to Join the IPS Today! Click Here to Renew Your IPS Membership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 After an hour or so at the beach, we wandered a few hundred yards to where a stream comes down the mountain and meets the ocean. The water was crystal clear and very cold. At the bottom of the steam were the same pebbles we found on the beach. There was a little food and beverage stand near this lagoon and we were able to purchase our favorite beverages! Click Here to Join the IPS Today! Click Here to Renew Your IPS Membership!

Palmarum Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Very nice photos Kate! The beach and stream look like a great photographic background, I would have had a good time there. This took place when the majority of attendees went to Sierra de Bahoruco National Park. I never did get to a Dominican beach during the biennial, but I live 20 minutes from a Florida one. I still would have enjoyed the photo opportunities on that beach, my trigger finger itches just thinking about it. Ryan Does anyone recognize these toes? Yes, Kate I do know your toes well, along with that shade of nailpolish. They had a lot of showtime next to the hotel pools during the biennial. 1 South Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Nice photos Kate, very "tropical paridise". Judy and I are enjoying the refreshing surf. Only a gulf/east coaster would call that surf. Dead give away. I guess the surf report was "toe high today w/ a couple of over ankle sets". haha :laugh: Just messin' with ya.

Zac in NC Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 That is some beautiful water there. I bet it was so warm. It makes me want to go back to that Beach in San Carlos Sonora, but the rocks there were painful, not good for a foot massage, but the water was so warm and nice.

Kathryn Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 After we left the beach, our taxi took us to another stream with a waterfall. It was a private area and cost a few dollars per person to get in. These pictures are near the entrance. Click Here to Join the IPS Today! Click Here to Renew Your IPS Membership!

Zac in NC Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Looks like Epipremnum is a problem there at that waterfall. Is it a bad weed in the DR in some natural areas? It looked like most of the places you all visited were pretty dry most of the time.

MattyB Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Wow, I just can't get over that limestone! It looks so inhospitable. How things grow in it amazes me. I wonder how they removed it for the course? Thanks for the pics Kathryn.

SubTropicRay Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Kate, about those toes and my foot fetish...... Just kidding. It was good to see you at the Bishock's last weekend.
