The Dominican Republic Bavaro Beach

is simply beautiful.

 Below is our lounge chairs and above is our view

 The dark speck just beyond the waves on the beach is Alex. The water gets very deep very fast.

 Ahhh, 'Towel' got a partner... lol

ps: I'm still playing with the MacBook Pro. I am truly loving it. The Mac is easy to use and so FuN. Now I understand the Apple craze and I'm hooked too. I usually read a book or two while on my week vacation, but this time I can't put the MacBook down long enough to read. hehehe However, I still can not upload photos from iPhoto directly to my blog. But, thanks to the suggestions I received here, I am able to easily click and drag my photos from iPhoto to the desktop then upload from there. Even with the extra step, the upload process is still easier than what I do with windows. I did try Picasa again, but still unable to get it to work. I have never had luck with Picasa, obviously I am not doing something correctly cause I understand several of you use Picasa. But I find it not user friendly. However, I did manage to get the above photos in Picasa, pin them and 'blog this' (which was a very simple process). But then I got a message from blogger stating that I had exceeded the maximum photo limit. I have received this message before when I've tried uploading in HTML (instead of compose). So, at least for now, I will continue to upload from desktop. Thanks for the recommendations.
