i wouldn't dare to drive in SD... the driving was awful and was definately the low point of the trip. i took over as soon as we were past SD on the return to PC just to give all our nerves a break..lol our cesar drove like a maniac and i saw no point in it and i even am glad i was driving through higuey on the ride back! we also went to constanza from jarabacoa on the mountain road and stopped and at a mountaintop home and had coffee. the people even offered to cook us one of their chickens for our return trip but we were not sure if we would come back that way. what a beautiful and challenging drive! i even tried the guinnea pig in constanza at lorenzo's restaurant. the following day we went to puerta plata to see the north coast(we wanted to visit samana but thought it would be too much drive for so little time and hope to do that area next visit). we ate at chris and mady's in puerta plata and for sure the day i decided to take drunk we ran into english speaking folks and they were all huge and looked like professional wrestlers so i couldn't even talk trash..lol bought them a mamajuana instead.
