A few more pictures

Just had to share a couple more pictures. It was so so hot and humid. We found this gorgeous place with waterfalls, pools and gardens. It felt so good to cool my feet and legs off. Jeff went all the way in. The water was cold and refreshing. The ocean was like bath water warm.

The temple in Santo Domingo is so beautiful. Look at the cool cloud formations. We got to fly through those clouds when we left. Wish I had my camera handy during the flight.

We stood on this bridge for a long time watching the people of this little villiage playing in the fresh water stream that empties into the turquoise ocean. Very peaceful. Very poor but they all seemed pretty happy.

Back trying to catch up

Here is a random shot of me...Jeff caught me giving him directions on how to take a picture. I was explaining how he needed to frame his shots before snapping it. Oops, he framed me all right!!! What a bossy girl I am.

I have been pretty busy the last 10 days. Travel can be really tough. We arrived home yesterday and there was so much to catch up on.



The news has been a little disturbing lately. The flooding in Cedar Rapids Iowa has my attention. I was born there. In fact I read that the Mercy Hospital which is the place I was born was flooded and evacuated. http://uk.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUKN1346134820080616



I was very saddened about Tim Russert's death. He was my favorite TV news person. I have been telling Jeff this last year that he should run for President. He always made sense to me. The election will not be the same without his interviews and Meet the Nation. So sad.

Happy Fathers Day to my Dad. I wanted to post some cute pictures of him holding me as a baby. No time for that either but I will get to it. I remembered today that I have to speak to 200-300 BYUI girls tomorrow about our South American ventures. So I am working on that.



Today was a really pretty day...finally.
