On Monday, August 21 we took a well needed trip into Santo Domingo. There were 10 of us all together, Brent, Rhea, Rebecca, Mikaela, Reilly, Valentin and his brother, Miguel, Diana and Matt, friends of ours from Calgary and Tracy, from Oakville ON. We travelled in a truck 4 in the cab and 6 in the box, so unCanadian and so unsafe, but when in the Dominican, do as the Dominicans. We went to the market, to the Old City and to the beach. At the market we didn't shop too much, Reilly bought a present for her friend and Brent got a birthday present for his friend, (the gifts went back with Diana and Matt) and we thought about gifts for our kids in Calgary for later. The Old City is great, over 500 years old and full of history. We love it there! The girls are standing beside an anchor from one of Christopher Columbus' ships, the Pinta. Boca Chica Beach is world famous, and has many resorts along it. It is soft sand and you can walk out from the beach into the water for a very long way. It was a nice break from everyday.

Loved the pics that you sent Elaine. She forwarded them to all of us. You guys all looks so great, and happy. The little Dominican kids in the pictures are just beautiful.
Take care and keep the pics and new coming. We all really enjoy hearing about how you are doing.

Imagine taking a truck down Deerfoot, 4 in the cab, 6 in the box... wonder how far you'd get. ;-)
