Hola! Part II

And the DR trip continues...

While in the Dominican Republic we were able to ride some zip lines! To get to the zip lines we had to ride on a bumpy bus through the villages of Punta Cana and up into the mountains. 

The Dominican Republic countryside...

The kids "playing" on their "playground" during recess. Crazy.

Zip Lining it up!

I look a little less than thrilled in this picture, but I REALLY did have fun. It was awesome. I think I was just concentrating on not twisting around or something. If I had one complaint... it would be the harnesses. Man! They are NOT comfortable on your behind.

Hot and tired from hiking. So fun!

Our tour guide. I wish I remembered his name, he was pretty fun.

On the way back to the resort, we stopped at a tienda to get something to snack on. These kids were hangin around and were so cute. Ryan gave one of them some of our chips. I think he felt like he had been given a nice juicy filet mignon.

These kids were selling flowers.

The next day we took a Segway tour along the beach. I have ALWAYS wanted to ride one of those! And I finally got the chance! It was beyond fun.

Aww how cute.
