Cabarete

Relaxation was the focus today after the hurried travel of the day previous. Come morning we strolled the beach to breakfast at the German bakery Panaderia Dick in downtown Cabarete. The highlight was an apple danish I took with us to the beach. There we found chairs and camped out for the afternoon simply lounging, swimming, reading and journaling.

At some point in the afternoon a beach vendor decided to spend the better part of an hour with us and after much haggling managed a sale - a simple ring that Shelly decided would be her traveling wedding band. We didn't take our rings on vacation, so this would be her trekking, camping, biking, hiking, gardening (you know most of our life) ring.

It was a simple day, spent almost entirely on the beach watching the kite boarders. We took another long walk in the evening into the more Dominican part of town back off the coast. Our wanderings eventually brought us around to the beach and a surf shop, that converted into a restaurant/bar at night. The vibe, under the large grass roof was good and we forked into some traditional Dominican fare. Mangu, a dish the texture of mashed potatoes, but made with plantains was the culinary hit of the evening. A giant pitcher of mojitos for only a couple bucks made sure the mangu washed down.
