RE: Fotos / Provincias Dominicanas
My first time I went to Sosua (I was 8 years old or so), we had and accident... too much curve on the road... but if you ride carefully you wont have any problems, besides the road is in excellent conditions.... when you get on top of the mountain you will have a view of puerto plata and the beach that will leave you out of breath... I have visited Puerto Plata many times, and I always go through the mountain…. And when I get on the top I just stop for a while to look at the landscape (that is relaxing, and the climate is just perfect… the people and the natural surrounding is marvelous)

Bonao this city is known as "Villa De Las Hortensias". The Hortensia is a flower spread all over Bonao.

If you go to Bonao, you must eat "el chivo picante"


Downtown








Rivers and forest are the main atrctions of Bonao

RE: Fotos / Provincias Dominicanas
Thank you.

That line of Victorian Style houses/business are new if they are in Samana.

That is a change since 2005.

They look nice.

There is a building over by the perpetually unfinished pilings for boat docks at the right side of the harbor too.

It is very nice to see what is going on in Samana since I lived in the area.

Thank you again.
