This is what I wish I could have.... A house in the middle of no where, high above the seas. Immersed in a million woods.

I believe this place is called "La Playa de YuYu" I heard that this was only first seen some 3 years ago. I am not sure that is true but it is possible. They've only started developing this area now. The only hotel I saw near here was a true hut. I guess I should have taken a picture of it but I was running for the soft light....

Bridge to Nowhere

Looking at the bridge to nowhere in the city of Samana. Coming from Las Galeras (an hours drive away).

Cano Frio

This place is called Playa Rincon or Cano Frio. People bathe right where the cold river runs into the sea. If you go to the beach side you'll feel the cold of the river and the heat of the salty sea hit you continuously from different directions. The beach basically teases you. I don't like to be teased so I just stay in the cold river and enjoy the cooling down.

It is the one place I never forgot from all of my many trips to Samana.

the mountains of Samana....
sigh...
