We wanted to climb the stairway to heaven in Monte Christi. You'll have to see the video to see what happened to our stairway.

Kite surfing is a huge sport in Cabarete. It was a treat to learn how to kite board.

We got lost a lot on the east coast of the Dominican Republic. The maps didn't match the roads and road signs were scarce. We spent quite a bit of our trip just navigating the roads, but the beaches were made it worth it.

We spent the morning looking out for humpback whales.

The Dominican Republic is the number one producer of cigars. We thought it was essential to see how these amazing objects are made, so we got hooked up with the Dominican Institute of Tobacco. The guys at the institute took us though the entire process, from growing to harvest to drying and rolling. This will certainly open your eyes as to how these bad boys are made.

Paragliding is one of the most popular activities in Cabarete, Dominican Republic. In an ideal situation, the glider is towed out over the water, released, and glides down to a smooth landing on the beach. But when you're dealing with waves and wind, you can never fully predict the outcome. See what happens when the guys from Kitexcite take us up in the air.
