I just came back from a relaxing exploring ride, looking for a new hidden beach. The island that can be seen on the top picture is Viqeues.

Trust me... the humidity is a killer. I spent many years in FLA... not going back. Also, the skeeters' bite with passion and the cocka-roaches will carry off a small child! :evil:

Looks like a nice ride element303. Any time you find your way to WA State,.. well... :whistle:

I took some nice pics today after getting that bitchy bike running again with all the electric problems and went for a 3 hour trip along the beaches. That was today:

Nice! I'll be dreaming of that in a few short months, when I'm shoveling snow!

Wow! Thanks for some nice pics of a unique location.

Regarding heat and humidity: I suppose you get used to it. My friends live in Punta Cana, next island west (DR) and when they come home they are cold. This summer, with the unusually cool July, the wife was wearing a sweater. But you may have found the best way to "Have your cake and eat it too," get a little elevation.

Did you retire there or did you manage to get a job in the location of your dreams?

Keep posting, I'm enjoying the view.
