Photos from the Dominican Republic
I took these pics on the beach today. It's around 87 degrees F here today, but feels cooler on the beach. By the pool though, it's VERY hot. If you love the beach as much as I do, Punta Cana, Domincan Republic is hard to beat. This place is really really nice. It's by far, the nicest beach that I have ever been too. I decided on which graphic novel to take to read while down here: Crisis on Infinite Earths. This is probably not technically a graphic novel, as it is just the 12 monthly issues, orginally published in 1985, compiled in book form. I enjoyed reading it very much. The wait staff and employees here only make about 150 US dollars a month. One of the waiters here became quite excited when he say me reading a a 300 plus page comic book. He stopped and offered to buy it from me. That, I am told, is VERY unusual; normally the people here are trying to sell you stuff at inflated prices, and you have to go back and forth with them on the price to keep from getting ripped off. I had never had a local offer to buy something from me. The last thing i thought might end up in the hands of a local here was my new comic book. I don't think I could have slept good if I ended up selling him the book; so today I gave it to him. He was very happy about that. It was fun to watch. I hope it doesn't get fired for reading it on the job.

It's also been sorta fun using my linux laptop down here in the sports bar too. Everytime I come in here I get to give a linux demonstration. No really, I do linux demonstrations. Noting organized or planned of course, but curious window and mac users haven't been the least bit shy about coming up and asking what kind of computer I am running. It's been funny really; I sit down here and try to get something done, when somebody will walk up and say excuse me what is that you are running. I have shown beryl to at least 2 different curious windows users, and one mac user. They were VERY impressed! To quote one one of the windows users after seeing beryl,"you have just blown my mind". I even had one conversation with a windows user that lasted almost 2 hours; he had LOTS of questions. I was more than happy to talk about linux though. Most of the tourist here are from Europe. I guess I was thinking more Europeans knew about linux, but to the ones here at least, linux was very new to them.

It's been a great vacation, and it's not half over yet
