Cap Cana Road Trip 041

The "blue hole".

WOW what an amazing day! We ended up with only seven going and managed to get everyone into one car but wow what a GREAT day of friends and fun! We met at the bakery next to Danny's around 10:30am. Loaded up and headed west first stopping to get gas and supplies. On to a place called Cap Cana which is just one HUGE park like area. Our first advenure began at Scape Park "blue hole" swimming area. Amazing! A short little walk over a not so smooth path and you are there. Crystal clear blue water with seemingly no bottom. When you first jump in it's REALLY cold but your body soon adapts. We spent about an hour there so enjoy the pictures. Then on to Juanillo Beach. Another beautiful beach paradise. There we swam, drank, snacked and had an amazing time with friends! Ah yes, friends! Let me introduce you to my newest and amazingly friendly ones! Samir, the happy go lucky guy from Macedonia and a great sushi chef for us afterwards. Romain, the driver of our road trip and overall great guy is a Frenchman!. Oh yes then there is Galya, lol my new Russian friend from

And also joining us was Isiah from the USA and my good friend Viviana from Italy, and of course my Yari. After a day long relaxing time we headed back. Stopping at a nearby grocery store for supplies. Then when got back to Bavaro, Samir invited us all to his house where he cooked a truely great Sushi dinner for us. And yes it was my first time eating sushi. Good stuff lol! So that about wraps up my first road trip here but I am positive more will come! Enjoy the pix everyone and have a GREAT week!!!

Hello there I'm Sam! I retired at the early age of 53 in 2008 from a Union road construction job and a military career straight out of high school.
