Yes he has that adress and given that to the taxi and they have asked over 20 other taxis and NONE OF THEM KNOW...
he has to be there within 30mins...
im so worried..
They dont know where that street is..
Ive called but i keep getting recording to use the website and such....
what is it near? or what is around it that a taxi would know>???

Here's a map Santo Domingo - Dominican Republic / www.dominicanrealestates.com

I can see clearly that La Esperilla seems to be running parallel to Ave. 27 de Feb. which every taxi driver should know.

thank you so much...
i see it... But now i can't reach him.. his phone was dying cause he had no electricity last night to charge it..
Oh boy you think the taxis would know where these places are...
He received an email last night saying to bring his passport to SD CAN EMBAssy.. but we have no idea why.. he has less then 20 mins now.. he is so nervous..

Please learn by heart:
NO TENGO LA CULPA.
(The most uttered sentence in this country and most probably used by your taxi driver...)

And in this case I do agree.

I agree, hard to believe that 20 other taxis didn't know the answer.

Good luck
let us know how it went
