Megan began her 1 month "intermission" between working in LA and starting Law School in Austin, Tx. the first of July. After trecking across the US visiting folks, she wanted to spend some time in the DR where she had studied as an undergrad. If was a great opportunity for a "gal trip", so Carol went along!
We spent the first 4 nights in Santo Domingo (inner city). It's a good thing she went on her own originally - Carol says she would have needed a tranquilizer daily for the 4 months Meg was there if she'd seen where she lived and her "transportation" options for getting to school and around the area! First trips to 3rd world counties are eye openers! The question seems to be "why is the electricity working?" Not, why isn't it when it doesn't!

| Yikes! We were fortunate to be invited for a lovely home made dinner and evening with the family of a friend of Megan's from her time in the DR. And, one day we visited the Botanical Gardens, out near Meg's school. Very Beautiful!  We then spent 3 days at a resort on the East end of the island - great! The weather which had been rainy and keeping things cool in Santo Domingo, turned beautiful and perfect for the beach and pool!! |
Finally, back to Santo Domingo to a lovely "tourist" hotel and some final shopping before heading back to the States the next day!
