Better late than on time

It just struck me that I did not do a post about the delightful February week we spent in the Dominican Republic, in a little town called Cabarete, a few miles from Puerto Plata. We stayed at an all-inclusive hotel named Azzuro Beach, and quite enjoyed it. Spent a lot of time on the beach, catching up on a lot of reading, snorkeling, some sight-seeing, and enjoying the bounty of all-inclusive drinks. The local beer, Presidente, was most enjoyable.

The beach was great for running; I did a half hour run before breakfast and then a couple more half hour runs during the day. And endless walking on the never-ending beach as well. It's one of the top areas for kite surfing in the world. Here's a picture.

One night we strolled down the beach a few hundred metres to a bar to watch an Ottawa Senators hockey game on TSN; that was weird.
