After our amazing experience at the falls (see below) our guide Paul took us to "Carib Territory." Pure Caribs or Kalinagos are native Americans with Asian features who predated the European settlers on the island. Today many live on the windward or eastern side of the coast
We were famished and stopped at this great little restaurant for lunch. First we had delicious charcoal smoked chicken with roots vegetables, dasheen, yams and plantains, then we sampled a few of the locally made alcohols (pictures above). Paul taught us Dominican cheers and phrases. We clinked our glasses saying "Irie" meaning we're well and very happy.
