A few pictures I took from a church near the Colonial Zone.















Another picture I took.

At night, I went to a Chinese restaurant with
my friend.

I do NOT recommend this place.

I do not have the address or phone number of
this place.
Its around 5 km from the Intercontinental Hotel.

Me and my friend ordered Coke, two entrees
and one appetizer and it came out to around 500 pesos.

Anyway, I did not like the food.

Day 3

I did not eat breakfast...............because I went to
El Conuco with my friend for lunch!!!

Lunch for two was around 900 pesos.
But there were much fewer dishes to choose from.

I forgot how much dinner cost for two people.











An excellent performance!!!



The entrance to the restaurant.
I do not have the phone number or address of this place.

One more plate from El Conuco!!!



And then I took a bus to Santiago.......

In December of 2005, I took the Metro Bus
from Santo Domingo
to Santiago.

I think the bus ride was 220 pesos.
It had A/C (a bit too strong so make sure you
have a long-sleeve shirt with you.

And the Metro Bus was a non-stop ride from Santo
Domingo to Santiago.

This time, I took the Caribe.......*sigh*

The Caribe tour did not have a non-stop ride from
Santo Domingo to Santiago. It made a stop at La "Something".
I forgot the name of the city. This city
was around 20 minutes away from Santiago.

The A/C was also strong so make sure you
bring a long-sleeve shirt with you.

I think the Metro had more leg room.

Anyway, I prefer the Metro.



My ticket for the Caribe Tour







Here is the information for the Metro.

I sent one night in Santiago.

I then met up with a friend and went to Sosua.

We grabbed a cab. It cost 1650 pesos.
So my friend and I split the cab fare.


In Sosua, I enjoyed riding the motos (is that what they are called?)





The beach in Sosua.






More drinking. LOL




I had a burger, fries and Coke which
came out to 150 pesos.




I stayed in Sosua for one night. I met up with my friends
and had a great time.


I then left Sosua for Santo Domingo.

This is a sign I took a picture of during my stopover at Santiago.
