adios, mom!

yesterday was my mom's last day in the DR. we enjoyed a nice breakfast out on the deck in the morning. once the bags were packed, we picked up a few things on the way to the airport - some coffee as souvenirs for her friends back home. (have i mentioned how good the coffee is here?) at the blah, blah, blah shop in cabarete, my mom bought us a nice tropical sarong/table cloth as a parting gift. i'm out on the deck now with it on the table - it's looking good! wish you were here to enjoy veronica's banana pancakes - dutch style - nice and thin.



you gotta get a shot at the airport when people leave. i mean you took a photo when they arrived. so here is mom at the airport on her departure day. she skipped the souvenirs there, though we did price out some cigars for one of her friends.



she'd prefer that i put this shot on though - this was her favorite night here, i think.



it was great having you here, mom! i miss you! see you again soon!

It was a fabulous and precious time spent in the Dominican Republic with you. I am returning home with some wonderful memories: dining on the patio with some good food, walking the beach in almost perfect weather,wiggling toes in blue/turquoise water, basking in the sun on the sandy beach, sipping exotic drinks at various cafes, exploring the countryside with various endeavors, meeting friends and other interesting people, cooking together creatively, listening to indigenous music, seeing rainbows and gorgeous sunsets, feeling the warmth of your welcome, etc. etc.
Thank you for such a memorable time. It remains indellible in my mind and heart. Thank you.
XXXXXXXXXXXOOOOOOOOOOOOO Love,
Mom
