Today Jeff and I went on a Dominican Safari where we got to learn about some of the culture of the Dominican people. I was so fascinated. After our tour of the plantation we went to a schoolhouse to see a classroom. Then we visited one of the world's top 10 beaches where we ate lunch and swam. After that we visited a mountain spring that mixes with the beautiful ocean water (which was very cold!). After that we stopped at a iguana place. Man those things are huge!! Then we stopped an art gallery in Samana and met the national stone-Larimar. Wowwww is it beautiful!
If anyone that went on this trip wants a copy of the disk, please email me (Katie) at info@reddevotion.com and I'd be happy to send you one. There's lots more pics!
Cocoa plant!
Tasting the cocoa.
There are 3 different types of bananas grown in the Dominican-regular bananas, Caribbean bananas and plantain.
Tasting honey
There are 3 types of sugar cane in Dominican-white, brown and violet (I didn't know there was violet!)
Guess the fruit!
Such cute girls :)
This little boy was adorable. He was giving flowers to all the ladies.
They sell the fruit on a roadside stand.
This was our tour bus!
Coffee beans come in little pods. They turn brown when they're roasted (the white things are the beans)
