I went to a wedding in Puerto Plata back in 91' big family reunion (my uncle married a Dominican) I was a teenager at the time.. CULTURE SHOCK. (small children on the streets begging for money and not in school.. 1st time I saw poverty)
Then I returned in 98' to Santo Domingo to visit my Cuban family that had moved to the DR from the states in 95'. I met my husband whom is Dominican...not a sankie... lol. friends of my family in DR.
I have been hooked since..we go twice a year to visit family & friends.
