Last day

January 7, 2011

Knowing it was our last (half) day at the beach we were determined to make the most of it. It was pouring torrentially during breakfast but these storms never last long.

It made for some dramatic views at the beach.


Brian made a stunning castle with his aunt and uncle.



I went for a walk on the beach.



And Eli did not want to miss any of the fun. He refused to take a nap, so grandma brought him out to the beach.



Finally, it really was naptime, so I took Eli back to the room, then went on to the kids' club to meet Brian, Tim, and Denise.



One last visit to the waterslides.



Then time to get dressed and packed. On the way back to the room, Brian made a little friend.



- Goodbye little insect, whatever you are!



We went to the "play ground" one last time to play the ball game, as Brian called it. I asked him how you play, and he said "Well, you take the balls like this and then you put them in the hole like this." Hey, if it's fun, who am I to contradict that?


Eli danced to Lady Gaga, clapping his hands and tapping his feet.


A game of ping pong with grandma,



one last picture,



and it was time to go. Goodbye, Dominican Republic, hello reality!
