I'm burnt to a crisp now from spending the day at Sosua Beach. It's absolutely gorgeous. For 60 pesos (less than $2) you can get a lounge chair and table for the whole day. There are people walking along the beach always hounding you to buy souvenirs, shrimp, pineapple, but if you just tell them no it's usually ok. The drinks on the beach are extortionately priced. I'm glad I filled my bag with soda, water, and snacks from the store before I went on the beach. The water is clean and a beautiful color of blue. The only problem was that in the water I stepped on a sea urchinand it hurt like hell. I've had all these things that looked like little blue splinters deep in my foot and toes. Later in the day my foot started to swell so I went looking for the clinic. The doctor at the clinic pulled out all the little stingers from the urchin out of my foot, cleaned it, wrapped it up, and gave me some antibiotics. Also the nail on my left little toe was ripped nearly clean off by some coral in the water and it was just hanging by a bloody thread. She took care of that too. It feels a lot better now but my left foot is still pretty sore.
