I think San Jose de Ocha is lovely, ditto Matas de Farfan, I also have a thing for Pedernales and the fantastic pine forest above it overlooking Haiti. I long to get out of the Capital and move up to the serenity of the small village but alas, I fear that I would miss the ocassional scrabble game, the international library, the every once in a while cinema. I did a year and a half in Las Terrenas five years ago with no car, when my biggest excursion was to buy goat feed with a friend in Nagua...... sooooo I know a bit of what I speak... BUT... not to say that it CAN't be done... just know that you are going to be a bit of an odd duck in the prettiest village, unless, of course, you are dominican? Everyone is going to know everything about you and you are going to be all alone, very alone, completely and utterly alone........could you handle that?
