Ah yes, the dental work

First, a picture of my classroom where I spent about two months That's my maestro, Byron.



The receptionist who always had a smile for me:



My Dentist - always busy. He probably works 14 hours a day.



The A Team



That's a mouthful of new crowns!



My Dentists parking spot



Yup, so far I'm happy with my new teeth. It took a little bit to get used to but it's all good now.

Casa de Don David. Probably the place to stay. I stayed at a nice hotel, but it was a horse hotel (lots of horses). I forgot that where there's horses, there's lots of flys.



There's the lake out there, but it's washed out in this pic.



Ahhh... mi moto...



Main road, but you still need to cross this river on the ferry.



I got this sticker...



From these folks
