Samana is a province of the Dominican Republic on the Samana Peninsula located in the eastern region. Its capital is Santa Barbara de Samana, usually known as Samana. The province is on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in the northeastern part of the Dominican Republic, Samana has numerous beaches, but it is known for its mountains of which it is almost entirely formed. Samana was originally larger, covering the area of what is now the Maria Trinidad Sanchez province, before being divided during the Trujillo era.

Below: Karen Duquette entered Samana and as Doug Jorge went to take her picture at the entrance, Karen's room-mate Betty stepped in to be photographed too. (Yes, this is the horrific room-mate mentioned earlier.) Worse yet, she put her arm around Karen. UGH!


Below: Everyone was greeted by some great music and native dancers.
