R&R in the DR*2

Ocean Blue and Sand Resort, Dominican Republic

Well that didn't take long. We swept the road dust off of us and brushed away the insects from the cocoa farm and settled right back into resort life. It was a r-e-a-l-l-y lazy day. Debi's big event was running in the morning followed by being immersed in a book the rest of the day, Linda took a Zumba class, Gary did some wide ocean swimming and Ned took a painting class.

 

 

Here's our resident artist's finished work.

Knowing this was our last evening to live up big, we reserved our strength for a fun filled evening. Linda and Debi danced the early evening away at a beach party

 

 

We had dinner at a steak house. Tonight we mixed it up and had the girls at one table and the boys at another.

Dinner was followed by watching the theatre circus entertainment. It was really good! This act was pretty impressive, but my favorite was the dog show.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gary and Linda made such a good-looking couple!

The highlight of the day was definitely Linda and Ned getting up the courage and doing a karaoke duet singing, "Don't go breaking my heart." There was several hundred people in the audience, so kudos to them. The majority were Spanish speaking only so hardly anyone knew what song they were singing, which made it really difficult for them. However, Ned and Linda were awesome!! I have the video, but Linda said if I posted it she'd kill me so for now, here's a still shot from the video.

p.s. Those of you who want to see it let me know, I got the goods;)

I think it's time to leave this place tomorrow. I think if I stay another day I'll keel over from either too much food, sun and definitely too much alcohol!
