Now living in the south of Spain, I look forward to making it my permanent residence some day soon. Check out some of the photos on gobarahoa.com. You can download them too. All the best

Lemoralexis that's great...Barahona and sorroundings are very unique indeed. We are planning a return 12 day trip in July and it will be an expedition by the looks of things. So more pictures will be on the way then.

Like Mirador pointed out we dropped by the page and just saw the opening. Maybe we need a different URL...

There's only a legend on the page that says "soon/pronto", and the following pic. Nothing more! By the way, what beach is that?
Mirador I have a hunch that the curve on the upper side of the picture is leading to San Rafael Beach after the long descending straight of way. This photo seems to be flipped horizontally and that was why I never even recognized it until I saw it again on the Barahona page. It is just a guess but I'm, pretty sure that this is the place.

Here is the picture as it appears on the Barahona web site...


Here is a picture from the opposite side before the curve...notice the clump of trees to the left...


Another one from the top of San Rafael...


What do you think??

Default Maybe this was James Hilton's Lost Horizon...
I may not have "found" it but it sure is as intriguing and alluring as the places described in the Lost Horizon. It has all the Shangri La qualities of balance, harmony and mystery.

Really can't ever get tired of seeing it that is why it is such a beckoning place.

Hey Chip the lobster was too much. It was broiled over wood fire and they used Bahia Honda wood which is just like mesquite. It was too much... It took about an hour and a half to prepare but hey we're on vacation...

We're leaving PR on the 6th of july toget into SDQ on the 7th. From there it is Barahona until the 15th which we return to SDQ for a couple of days and hang out with some of our dominican biker buddies.

I'll probably post some stuff on the details later on as the day approaches. A 115 you say? That oughta be fun...

Motorcycler, I've always wanted, but haven't yet, traversed the roads along the Haitian border. I wonder if you have done it or plan on it?
This is another fascinating part of the country I'd like to someday explore.
I heard that new roads are being build but that it's still treacherous, (personal safety). What's your opinion?

I don't know if the 115 can but I do have a Suzuki Bandit 1200 in Florida with about 125 bhp that pops unwanted wheelies that I would bring here if I could figure out how to do it w/o paying taxes - any ideas?

Motorcycler y Mirador,

First photo is a " flip " of the second but it is of the road down to Paraiso after going past Punta Arena. The correct photo is shot from Playa Paraiso looking north.

The third photo is Playa Paraiso looking South with Los Patos in the distance.

Last photo is Playa San Rafael looking to the North.

And I have to live with this " stuff " everyday !!!!

Going on my two month summer walkabout. Back August 1st...

you guys need to drop by Cabral when you are in the area.

take care,

kFrancisco de Cabral
