Our Dominican Republic Trip | Part 2 – Santiago and Santo Domingo

As promised, we are sharing the second part of our trip to the Dominican Republic! Santiago is the city that Vic and his cousin grew up in. We stayed there for 4 days and were able to visit many different places within the city. We ate SO much food and laughed so hard with the best people! We visited Camp David which is a mountain top where you can see the entire city of Santiago. After we got back from Samana, we went to Jarabacoa, a small town in the mountains right outside the city. We visited the river there and ate some of the best ribs ever! Right before we left home, we drove to the capital, Santo Domingo for a day of sight seeing and of course some more eating. I’m sure that Vic and I came back about 10 pounds heavier from all the yummy food we ate!

It was so great to disconnect, have fun and be with people that we love. Of course, being the foodies that we are, we ate all day and had some of the best food ever on this trip! Enjoy the pictures from our time in Santiago and Samana!
