**** and Lois that is one of the reasons we chose the DR. It is a huge country and you can drive for 6 hours or more in one direction and never see ocean. We have mountains, and it even snows on Pico Duarte every couple of years to beautiful beaches, jungles and desserts. This as well as huge cities (Santo Domingo is one with a population of over 3 million) and small rural towns. But after nearly 13 years we are ready for something new.
