bikes are a popular form of transportation in this cobblestoned city
Beautiful buildings that look like palaces serve as the student dormitories, and each one is prefaced with a luscious green, perfectly groomed courtyard.

Photo Highlight: Harpa on the last day of construction
workers finish the asymmetrical window panes at Harpan. Pressure for the house to open in a mere 24 hrs was probably resting heavy on the hundreds of busy construction workers running around.

this ice-skating rink closed a few years ago, but back in its good old days (circa 40's to 60's) was a popular place no-one would have predicted to become abandoned to graffiti artists
Photo Highlight: Dominican Paradise
I was traveling for 8 days along the south coast of the Dominican Republic with an old friend of mine, Ursula, who was once my roommate on Semester at Sea 5 years ago. We found it comforting to stay near the ocean since we once floated around the world together for 4 months.
Our favourite beach, Juan Dolio
This resort in Salina’s was quite an upgrade from room 4083 on the MV Explorer, the tiny inside berth me and Ursula once shared. The fact that it was complimentary and included personal caretakers/bodyguards was even more luxurious, thanks to some very generous Americans we met there.
Salina's Hotel & Restaurant, one of the more secluded and personal resorts I've ever visited. Jorge, the owner, welcomes you there as if its his own house, and you're part of the family right away.
