the locals were a very friendly bunch, and i enjoyed talking to them, even if their english was quite limited. this lovely lass, whose name i wont even try to spell, was working at harry's bar on the plaza la hispanidad. i went there every day for a drink, and got to know her. she was so friendly, and eager to learn about where i came from, and what i do in life etc. i asked her to show me how to dance the 'merengue' and the 'bachata', and she showed me right in the middle of the bar! she was an awesome dancer, as are most dominicans. i really enjoyed chatting with her.

Like you before your visit I never knew there was so much history to the DR - until now! Great tips on some fascinating places, and excellent photos too - I love the fact that you've included B&W as well as colour :) | marielexoteria Mon Nov 5, 2007 09:05 UTC
I'm glad you enjoyed my hometown. Yes, I don't think any airport on DR has a shuttle service like at other "civilized" places. | JLBG Mon Oct 1, 2007 04:27 UTC
I understand that this place is the old world in the new world! Or may be the missing link between these two worlds! The hospital ruins are great, with nobody around! I did not know that DR was so special! Thanks! | bapak Wed Sep 5, 2007 08:01 UTC
Very helpful! Thanks a lot. |
