Dominican Republic

Well, I am in the DR. I have been here for 2 weeks, and I am going to be here for 4 more. Internet access is limited, but just know that I am safe and having a great time! My tan is great! My skin is humidified, and I have gotten wet at least twice each day from outside. I feel so fortunate to be here! And, I am really bad at Spanish still, but, it is coming along, at least I can order food, that's important. All of the investors and my family have gone home, so, it's just me and the crew. We aren't going out on the site for another couple of days, waiting for groceries and for the hurricane to blow by. I am sleeping in the hull down below, I have my own fancy shmancy room, and it has a/c and I feel like I am sleeping in an ice box. The way I get around is on the handle bars of Tommy's mountain bike, or the back of a motorcycle, or I walk (which isn't very often because of creepos that see my blue eyes and blow kissy faces at me) But, I assure you, I am in great hands. And I am way excited to get out and start diving! Alright, we are shutting the generator off, thus the computer as well. So Adios.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMBER!!! The real Reason I got on the internet! Love yah!

Okay, these are all out of order, but its some of the stuff I've been up to this summer. 
And I tell yah! It's been fun!
Taking pictures has been a little less than average, but the ones I've gotten, have been timeless.
Storm chasing


Hikes with rivers

9 mile hike with the Cousins and Kerr! So fun!






Camping in Woodland, past Park City, we went four wheeling a ton! 
Dad let me drive once, and only once, I almost knocked him out about 3 times. 

Checked out a chunk of land.



Cohwen was our guide. (Which was partly the reason why dad almost fell off) Which was totally worth it and so much fun!! 


Caught grass hoppers and put em in a bag and went fishing, four wheelers to get to a pond that we canoed on. I actually caught a fish!!! And then it ate my hook, So, I never got to bring it up. 



So peaceful! Especially when we're not on it. Surprisingly, we never tipped the canoe. 




Me, Dad and Kerri took a Rescue diver course and are now certified, we had to 'save' our instructor. If you are a scuba diver, take this course, you learn so much! And its a hoot! 


The mottly crew! So much fun! I went to Rexburg over the weekend and had a blast! We went Mountain Biking (i ran over a cactus and popped my tire on our last little jaunt), Fishing and Canoeing, Four-wheeling, had a fire, had lots of cookies, played some b-ball, played some guitar, was serenaded by a theatre organ that our friends father built (amazing), star gazed (amazing), got an AWESOME new camera strap from my way awesome Friend! (That deserves a post all by itself it is epic!!) Thanks Rach! played with cats, dogs, birds, frogs, spiders, grass hoppers, fish, And best of all . . . A ton of people that I haven't seen for what feels like forever! It was so good to just be up in Rexy and see a ton of great friends! And best of all, know I didn't have any homework assignments due or be stuck their in the bitter rexy winter! :) 

So, I head to the Dominican Republic in a couple of hours, and when I get back, summer will be over, the leaves will be a changing! And I will have way more pictures for ya!
