History

Larry and Tina's travel adventures on a 42' Catamaran.

Who Were These Pirates Before They became Caribbean Pirates?

They were the previous owners of Zeppe's Italian Water Ice In North Ogden, Utah. They built this little ice cream shop (that's not really an ice cream shop) from an old house in an urban area in 2008. Zeppe's has been open since 2009-present but These Pirates owned it from 2009-2013

Jarabacoa and Constanza

This really was paradise!  Absolutely beautiful, even without the ocean.  Up in the Central Cordillera Mountains.  The highest peak here is almost 11,000 feet but that is at sea level remember.


                    Here I am thumbs up and ready to go...well on the outside I was ready!


While in Jarabacoa we decided to try paragliding.  It was so cheap, we couldn't pass on this.  So, I ask the instructor when were the lessons and he said all you need to do is run and whatever you do don't stop!



So that's exactly what I did...ran and didn't stop, even when they were all telling me stop! Stop!  I finally did stop, mostly because the parashute had me in the air on my tip toes and I couldn't run!  And no, its not a big grin on my face, but me gritting my teeth and groaning. Arrrrrrggghhhh!  We did go river rafting but I haven't got the pics off the disc we bought yet, so I will post them later.







Love this picture!  When I talk with my mom and tell her about how poor it is here and the sanitation issues and not very good water, she asks why, Tina, would you want to be there?  This is a picture that explains why, silly as it seems.  I can't explain the why, its just different and new and exciting to see how other people live.  Meet so many interesting people along the way here locally and on the water with the other crazy people cruising around.
