Not quite wordless in the Dominican Republic

When our ship pulled up to the Dominican Republic, we were welcomed by dancers on the dock:

We then went to Altos de Chavon, which is stunningly beautiful.






We then went to downtown La Romano's street market. Tourists can't walk more than a few feet without someone stepping in front of them and trying to get them to buy something. I enjoyed Altos de Chavon FAR more!

  46. Beautiful shots! I've been to Puerto Rico a couple of times and had thought about checking out Dominican Republic. Alas! I never pursued it. But now, looking at your photographs, with much regret, I'm thinking, "I should have."

    Many thanks for sharing.


    Cheers!
