Seven Days in Santo Domingo


Santo Domingo, Capital of the Dominican Republic...my roots! This flag hangs in of all places ... the Horse Racing Track. In Spanish it is called the Hipódromo.
Affordable Apt. rental for the week in the west side of the capital
Mama relaxing upon arriving to the apt.


One of the many historical spots in Santo Domingo the first European City of the New World thanks to Chris Colombus and his posse.


The beaches here are a perfect place to relax have a beer and enjoy some plantains (tostones)



Elizabeth aka Esperanza made it for a few days, sure she barely made her flight and was a lot hungover the first day...but she got into the swing of things quickly here...


She also doubled as the house servant and went out every morning to fetch fresh fruit from a little vendor down the street... not only did she get fruit...she also got phone numbers from the local men while out picking up breakfast... 66 Pesos can get you alot! (2 American Dollars)





After Breakfast...Raul our driver would take us to the Beach.
This is a where I sat and solved world problems...except I forget to write them down.





Elizabeth the actress/playwright displaying her Acting skills here...look at the length of those arms...freakish.



My vantage point








It gets hot on the beach and the best way to ease"el calor" is with a Presidente...
Way better than Gatorade...makes you smile and wish everyone ...
Saludos!
Later on this week more pictures of Santo Domingo and my family there...
