Trip to Constanza and the waterfall

Artist rendition of the waterfall in the town by the highway.

Beautiful view of the Dominican Republic

These 2 boys on their homemade skateboards. This was a very steep sidewalk. We had to jump off while they rode down. Although they had pretty good steering skills.

Harvesting potatoes. Notice the oxen and the man sitting on the plow.

Loading potatoes on the truck.

Not a great picture -too much of our dashboard, but all this stuff on a moto!

A man outstanding in his field.

I think they are growing strawberries under the plastic.

We took this trip in the back of a big truck. The red is part of the truck. The men are spraying the field with insecticide. All manual labor.

Hot houses (cool houses)

Crops grown on the side of the mountain.

Pretty steep fields

We can sure be thankful for where we live!

The beautiful waterfall

Our tour bus!

This isn't the greatest picture. A man with his plow and other farm equipment.

Now that's some carrots

Crops

Riding on the carrots

Beautiful valley

Getting back into town.

This is a very steep mountain. They are loading bags of potatoes on the horses and then running up this mountain to load them on a truck. Then they run back down with the horses to pick up more.
