Follow the adventures of tourism expert and University of South Carolina Professor Rich Harrill leading his annual study abroad trip to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (rharrill@hrsm.sc.edu)

Below are a few pictures from previous trips to Punta Cana, just a taste of what students will experience in May 2012--from the beach to the boardroom!

Our annual trip to Bayahibe for a dip in the "natural pool"--really just a shallow depression in the oceans that allow one to wade or float comfortably for hours.  Led by Logisitics Coordinator and all around good guy Ben Hulefeld, who has since been given a USC hat!





A beautiful little beach just a stone's throw from Punta Cana Club and Resort







The golf course on the beach...









...is good for clowning around








A night off from survey research!







Nothing better than on a boat on a gorgeous Dominican day.  Temperatures on the island never stray far from the 85 to 90 range.
