Our Buggy Adventure

Watching everyone come back covered in mud.  Getting pumped up!

Four Wheelers:  Not dirty enough for me.  Show me the buggies.

This kid knows what's up.

That's what I'm talking about!  Good job Colorado crew.




Mr. and Mrs. Malone are ready to get filthy.

Rest stop on the beach after our first run on the buggies.  Here we saw the ocean, some horses, and bought some a cool statue and some Cohibas from some zealous beach vendors. 

My name is Melissa and I come in peace.  Unless you are a frenchman in tight shorts or a vendor trying to overcharge for an item I want.  Then I get fierce.  :-)

The guy that the Dominicanos on the beach called "Black Rambo".




This place is beautiful.  The Europeans cleaned up a little bit by dipping in the ocean.  We preferred to wear our mud like a badge for a little while and take in the sights.


Let's ride.



We love the Dominican kids. 

Melissa is all smiles.  I'm all business. 

Time to hit the second length after a Dominican kid took our picture for a buck.  The French couple directly behind us were our favorite riding buddies along with a French mom and her daughter in front of us.  But the guy in the white bandana and his wife probably hit the trails like bigger madmen than we did.  FUN, FUN, FUN.

Second rest stop.  Looking sexy and wearing the Dominican Republic all over ourselves.  Hilarious.  Yeah.  Black bag held our valuables and shopping spoils so they stayed clean.

I'm glad we don't have to wash this thing.


Oh yeah...We were definitely having a blast now.

Melissa loved this stop.  We got to sample fresh "Mama Juana", an all natural drink that the people called "Dominican Viagra" and fresh coffee.  The red and green berry looking things were coffee beans of course before they got roasted and dried.  Of course they had fresh  beans for sale and we had to get some.



Coffee beans


About to wash of in a pool inside a cave and get ready for our last length of driving like maniacs.  Did I mention how fun this was yet?








Can you see me in there cheesing?



I didn't want to dip my head in the cave water, so every part of my body was washed off except the top of my head. 




About to take a Mamajuana shot in one of the vendor shops after rinsing off in the cave.

Immediately got dirty again on our last run!  this is what we looked like pretty much all over on the ride back to Excellence.
