Thermal Baths - Colombia

I'm playing photo catch up, again...but, I thought that these pictures are worth seeing.  These were taken in Popayan,  Colombia.  Popayan was the last town we stayed in while visiting Colombia.  We decided to spend our last day in Colombia at the thermal baths, followed by a down hill bike ride back into town!

the water was about 106F..caliente!!
we passed a beautiful waterfall on the bike ride back to town
the Colombian countryside
I'd say the ride was about 20mi back to town on the horrible rental bikes on the left
almuerzo (lunch, $1.50) soupa, beans, rice, chicken,

Dominican Republic

First stop...Dominican Republic!  THANK YOU JETBLUE FOR THE TWO FREE TICKETS TO THE ISLAND!!!


We arrived in Las Galeras on Saturday.  Me, Mike and his best friend Matt and have not been doing much besides lounging around our bungalow, going to the beach, eating fried food and enjoying the 80+ degree weather.   


The bungalow that we booked is even nicer than what we thought it would be.  It is run by a French couple, Jean et Lolo.  Besides no running water (which should be working) the place is amazing. 

One half belongs to me and Mike, the other
