Viste Mare

We have moved from the north coast, Las Terrenas, to Viste Mare (hmmmm...why does that sound Italian?)...around the tip of Samana Bay almost to the Caribbean east coast. (You may need to check the map).

We drove yesterday down along the bay...passing small towns...to the new marina in Samana (the town)...then up to this resort. The area has been popular with Europeans for a long time...not too many Americans...and now especially with the Italians who I suspect are getting rid of their lira and investing in Caribbean properties.

In some sense this beauty and privilege appear undeserved to me...my life has been too easy to be taking a vacation like this. Yet...it is so amazing. The resort has two seeming (to me) pretty pristine beaches...crowds of fishing boats yesterday were throwing nets just off shore.









Now that we are here...we enjoy the quiet...just about the only people here except for some younger couples who do not give the impression of newly weds.

Nor, for that matter, do we.
