The beaches are beautiful

See my entry on the Dominican Republic and this takes place right after it.

For those who just want to know about Sosua itself though, read on. Sosua is a tourist destination and with due reason. They have a huge market place with plenty of souvenirs for people to spend money (cause that’s what most people want to do anyway), there is the beautiful beach, and the hotels there are quite amazing with pretty much every amenity you can think of. The water was beautiful. It was so vivid, clear and crsytalline that it seemed surreal. While I was here I had the experience of jumping off a 40 ft. (if memory serves me correctly) inverted cliff while I was there. The water didn’t look deep at all because it was so clear, but I can assure you that it was at least 30 feet deep and probably more so, but I wasn’t going to try and find out. Anyway, on the way out I stepped on a sea urchin because you had to climb up on this rock ledging and there aren’t any good foot holding positions and little did I know that under the ledge was a bunch of those suckers. Well, my foot was in tremendous pain and a local told me I was lucky my foot didn’t swell up. Mrs. Bliss Calvo, who was a nurse, told me because my foot didn’t swell that the needles were going to be in my foot for a while, at least 8 days. Yeah, lucky… Anyway, the place was amazing, the people there were friendly, if only to get your money, but they were friendly nonetheless, and the food was most excellent. Always bring someone who can speak the language and try to bring someone who understands the area and culture. Other than that, have fun! WEEEEEEeeeeeee!
