Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Above are the "cuatro amigoes" (Crystal and Mike on ""Dancing Dolphin" and THE CREW) on a field trip to Puerto Plata for the day.

Puerto Plata is a good sized city, which is modern, clean and upscale:


We took a cable car up a mountain which overlooks Puerto Plata.  Atop the mountain there is a botanical garden which is huge.  Every house plant I have ever seen is growing in the garden.  We were actually in the clouds on top of the mountain.  There is a HUGE statue of Jesus which was shrouded in the clouds...just a bit errie for me !!  Thought I was either dead, or had one too many rum punches when I saw Jesus, arms spread,  coming out of the clouds !!
