another day in paradise....

or so i say...torrential downpours in the night, but my daughter slept right through it all. we worried that that the day would bring grey skies however, much to our surprise, a beautiful day was ahead.

we are back in sosua. i say back because this is is our home away from home....new owners of casa valeria, and while we miss mayela and family the new owners have made some very nice changes to the place. many changes to the north coast, but one thing that remains the same is the german bakery in sosua! yeah us.

after a breakfast of nutella and bread we headed off to the beach. it was a perfect day on the beach....even a little breeze here in sosua. lunch on the beach was ok....i didn't have my lambi, so it couldn't be that good! we just caught a little softball game at the schoolyard in sosua, and are planning our day of horseback riding and beaching in cabarete for tomorrow.

we took the gua gua from las terrenas to sosua yesterday....it was packed and we rode for 3 and 1 half hours with 5 across on the bus and a suitcase on our lap, but it was inexpensive and a fun little experience.

after a brief bout of fever for one of us, we are all in vacation mode now, with some nice tans...even my kid has a tan! no sitting under the parasol for her this year!

going to call my friend tomorrow and see if he knows the exact dates of the merengue festival and how he could help my group in july.

think warm thoughts.
