I wish I could control anything like this guy can control his car. Fast forward to 36:00.

back from the D.R.

We've been back from our trip to the Dominican Republic for a week or so now. We were in Punta Cana as part of the Virginia Tech in the Caribbean program. The students are there for a full semester and we were there teaching ecology and evolution for two weeks. It was lots of fun! Lisa's mom came for the whole trip and my folks came down for about 5 days. Amalia loved the trip, especially the beach, turtles, swimming pool, cheese pizza, etc. Here are some random pics.

Big scary tarantula!

Rough life...
Every morning at dawn, I would take the kids to the freshwater lagoons to look at the turtles.
