I guess I must have missed those before. Thanks! )

I haven't been to Samana, but I have been along the entire Southern coast and loved it. Northern coast tour from Samana and Los Haitises parque to Monte Cristi is next! I'm more of a hiker and nature enthusiast than a tourist, so...

I don't know why, but I am having trouble with this site today!

Taino carvings near Lago Enriquillo(take two!)

Great pictures!! Just a small correction, if you will permit me. The picture you have titled "Columbus House" is actually the Cathedral of Santo Domingo or Santa Maria la Menor finished in 1540...first cathedral in the Americas. Again, great photos!

I clicked on the red X in your message, but photos don't come up.

i've seen 2 iguanas in pop,one was one was small and running along the rocks by long beach,and the other was cut in half i imagine they kill them on site.....jim

Iguanas are treated with allot of suspicion. In the desert region near Barahona some people eat them. It is believed that they slice goats in half with there fins. Once we had one in an office there that bit my steel toed boot and left a large hole. But it was my fault for playing with a wild animal. There are still many Iguanas left in the DR but locals need to be educated so that they are not added to the endangered species list.
