Dominican Republic Tourism

 My brother had planned to tour DR but the trip was cancelled.  So here are some pictures from the area around Puerto Plata on the north shore.

First we show some pictures in the Iberostar Resort.  I am sure most of the others look the same.












Our room was ocean front and every day the housekeeping staff would fold a towel differently.





We decided on the north shore instead of the more popular east shore since you get better sunsets.  (I remember staying in Ocean City, Maryland and you got a sun rise, but no sunset.)














Pretty cool local vegetation.









Walking west along the shore.










Local kids were friendly.






Took a cable car to the top of the Isabel de Torres National Park and got some great shots of Puerto Plata.









Toured a Rum Bottling company








And a drive around town.










Visited a Larimar Museum to pick up some stones.









Infantil Malecón Park and the Museum at Fortaleza de San Felipe











Mama Juana 










but alas, we had to head north to the snow and cold.
