Conflicting Karoake

I am coming to realize more that this town is very much a "vacation town" for the wealthy to come down to their mountain homes and enjoy the scenery. This past Sunday we went to a resort type place called the River Club where you will see in the pictures, is not a place that really the locals can afford to come to every weekend for a poolside afternoon. I felt conflicted last week as I was at this place with 5 different pools and the river below us and yet I drive home to La Colonia where we can´t even get trash off the street. These two places I feel like should not be able to thrive in the same location, yet they do and there are several more places like the River Club that is strictly for the upper class.

All of that to say, I had a wonderful time that afternoon and even though it did end up raining, everyone went to the cabana and we had karoake time!! Yall probably all know that I did sing my heart out to Whitney Houston´s "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and Alicia Key´s "Fallin". You will have to look at Leah´s blog for those pics.

This place is located on the Yaque River a little outside of town. There were these boys which reminded me of the "lost boys" from Hook that would come out of their homes along the river and jump in the river with no fear of these huge boulders in the river and play in their underwear. It was a sight for sure!
Connecting both sides of the resort is this suspension bridge over the river.

Here is another picture of the place. There are 5 pools total located all over the club.
