About 30 minutes from La Hoya is an amazing beach called Quimieto. It is really rocky but there is one path for boats to travel from the shore out into the bay.  All these boats are lined up right in front of it and the beach goers use their shadows to hide from the sun a bit. Each boat is pained a different bight color, and even though Dominicans have a penchant for stealing, these boats and the things in them remain where the owners left them.

In the market in Barahona you can buy any type of fruit, vegetable, or root!  This man was so friendly and repeated the names of the different roots over and over for us, but I still do not know any of them!  Kids love having their picture taken, but adults always have strange reactions or poses, like this one.  He was not resisting having his picture taken, this is just how he wanted it done.
