The single greatest little isle in the Caribbean, Dominican Republice, I love it!!!

I've spent the last approximately 48 hours in the Dominican Republic!! I can still hardly believe it. It feels a little bit like New York, because of all the Dominicans, a little bit like San Diego, because of the beach, and a little bit like Europe, because there are lots of Eurpoeans and I'm sort of hosteling and backpacking. Oh my goodness, though, the water is so clear I can't even believe it. It's amazing to be able to see everything all around you when you swim! I want to do some more snorkeling, for sure. And check out the authentic salsa/meringue etc. That's what I'm talking about. Cheers. Lisa
