showing mom around

veronica took the gua-gua to the office this afternoon, which gave mom and me the car to use. we headed over to perla marina so that i could show her the blue fish complex. we walked all around the construction site, the coast in front of blue fish, and then over to maquey and naturas cabanas. it was fun to show her blue fish, as we have been excited about investing in it and seeing the progress of the complex.

next up we headed to sosua. i had recently noted a place called "on the waterfront" as a place to check out. it's down by the las terrazas complex and has a great view over a small beach and out towards puerto plata and the mountains behind there. we ordered a couple of banana mamas sin ron and enjoyed the view. here's my mom, enjoying her tropical drink.



veronica came to meet us, and the next thing we know it's about time for the sunset. we decided to stay for that and to get some appetizers. well, the sunset did not disappoint. here's a shot of it:



now we're just hanging out at home and watching some TV. if there had been a movie theater nearby, we'd have opted top do that. but alas, a movie theater is asking a bit too much of this third world country. here's a thought, we have not seen a movie (in a theater) since we have been here. wow!
