*....or so the story goes. Once upon a time, Ryan suggested to Melissa that they start a 'blog'. To which Melissa said, "We are not blog people!" And so here we are. We are teaching ourselves photography, taking the camera everywhere with us. This little blog is meant to show off shots we are proud of, and to give you a glimpse into our adventures. Comments always welcome!

Although this shot is technically over exposed immensely, it still is a cool capture of Veronica's champagne pour illuminated by dad's flash.

Bed & Breakfast

Pillows

-Here at "R&M's Bed & Breakfast," you will not find room service or a mint on your pillow. In fact, you are required to make your own damn bed AND leave a mint on the pillow when you leave. Please refer to Mom's example pictured here.

Calvacade of Lights

«« prev | next »»

City Hall

Jeff, Pam and myself (Ryan), were down to City Hall to see the "Calvacade of Lights" and tree lighting ceremony. It turned out to be kinda lame with musical performances that would lull you to sleep. But with a little "boozey coffee" we managed to pull through the night.

Same location as previous post. An old casting and plating factory is being torn down in the junction here. Thought I would get in and explore before another old building is gone.

Abandoned Resort

«« prev | next »»

Resort

Another shot from the 4-wheelin' tour we did on the honeymoon. More photos here
Here is the back story:

The Sandy Village Beach Resort opened in 2000 or so. It was one of the first resorts in the Punta Cana area. Unfortunately the beach was lousy. Small and full of sharp coral. Word began to spread about how bad it was. People with reservations started cancelling. People stopped coming altogether. The bank foreclosed on the resort. The owner skipped town. The staff, (unpaid in 2 months), got wind of this. They showed up to work like any other day, but then proceeded to loot the place. They took everything they could. Once people in the 2 nearby villages saw people walking up the streets with toilets, sinks, mattresses etc, you can only imagine what happened next. Every thing was ransacked. What was left, got destroyed by Hurricane Ivan. Now it sits abandoned. It was going to become a paintball spot, but rumor now is that the bank will someday try and reopen it.
