This is what I consider one of my classic Dominican Republic Photos. I posted it on the last blog but saved it to repost.I took this picture in El Tablon in Charamicos.

I nearly fell off my chair when I read this in the New York Times this morning! Man I think Tourism has a long way to go here but I was happy to read the article touting the horn of the Dominican Republic. Sometimes Bulldoodie can pave the way to better things. I sure hope so!
Headed to Puerto Plata now with Niko the Commie to look at some real estate.

Hasta Pronto!
