Default Identification Please!

Hi all,

We've just returned from our 5th trip to Boca Chica (actually its been long enough that I wish I could come back). This trip, we couldn't get a flight into Santo Domingo, so did the bus from Punta Cana to Boca Chica.

I have a picture of a cathedral and one of a river, that I would appreciate getting the names of, if anyone can help.

Lets see. One is the Basilica, in Higuey, the other is the river that passes Altos de Chavon...

(and I can't even see the pictures either!)

Default Thanks

Thanks JD, I wasn't sure about the link but hoped that someone would figure out (because of the route) what I was talking about.

And you were right on the money!! Once I had the name, I checked on-line and my picture is definitely of the Basilica.

Thanks again.

Basilica de Altagracia to be exact and the rio is Rio Chavron.
Of course without the actual pic it would be fair to say that you also travelled over the Rio Cumayasa and Rio Soco to get to BC however the one closest to Alto de Chevron is Rio Chevron!
