This photo would make a good beer ad-



Relaxing and enjoying a wonderful afternoon-







I don't care what the food is like here, it would still make for a romantic evening. Just you, your significant other and this beautiful vista-

A big thank-you goes out to Chip, who although severely pressed for time came out on very short notice and graciously hung out with us.

I would recommend to anyone that you go out and meet some DR1 members wherever it is you travel in the Dominican Republic.

It is not just the lovely views and beautiful weather that make the island what it is-it is also the people, both natives and expats alike.

I will post more in the next coming days.

Truly wonderful pictures, Berzin, and it wasn't all that camera's doing, either! Looked like you were well accompanied...

Fantastic views from up there....

Cows were funny!!
