In order to get to a swimming area we had to cross the
Rio Yoque del Sur in our guagua (taxi). |
 |
This area of the river had been quarried leaving a
great swimming hole in a usually shallow river. In 1998
Hurricane George devastated this area which now looks like a
paradise. |
 |
The Dominicans worked hard to prepare a warm meal on a
campfire for us. It was delicious! |
 |
On the way out we had to forge the Rio Grocu.
This photo was taken from the back of a pickup in which a few of us
traveled in for well over 60 miles during the journey. |

This small hut represents the type of house many
people in the country live in. Hurricane George killed over
5000 people in the San Juan area. Most died as a result of
flooding. |
