I have to remind people that Cabarete, and the whole of the Dominican Republic are completely unaffected by the earthquake that hit Haiti – we are all fine and there is NO damage at all here!!  You will see from these photos that we were enjoying a beautiful sunny day and I took all these photos from the top of a cliff – standing a metre from a 50 metre drop – no, I was not worried that an earthquake would send me reeling over the edge.

It has been a bit stormy for the last days; quite a bit of rain, although mostly at night, and hot, sunny days. Today though is pretty horrible, windy and raining from first thing. We will head off the La Sirena in Puerto Plata to do some shopping and that always means a big treat for Jimmy; Burger King!!!

Here are the latest constructions pics of the surf camp; In order, they are 1. looking at rear of pool construction towards front of site/office 2. Construction of the mezzanine floor to the dorm room 3. still building at sunset last evening! 4. Shuttering for the beams which span the first floor ceiling
