Ojo de Agua
Today we set off walking through the banana tree fields after breakfast towards the Ojo de Agua, a natural spring about a mile north of our hotel. Once there we met the lady in charge of the place and paid a one dollar fee that allowed us to use the pool that had been constructed for swimming.
It was a fun and relaxing time. A family from the island was there at the same time and Em got some great photos of both the older kids jumping off the rope swing and the youngest member of the family, a 6 month old boy who was enjoying his first trip to the spring.
On the way back to the hotel we got a good view of some howler monkeys that were passing over the road as we were walking back. There is definitely a plethora of wildlife on the island.
Since the island has no banks, and we were running low on cash, we had dinner at the third hotel, which was the most expensive of the bunch in Santo Domingo but it accepted credit cards. It was a good meal and we’ve decided that our final two meals here will be here tomorrow since we can pay with my visa. We don’t want to run out of cash for the ferry to the Costa Rican border.
