Ensanche Quisqueya Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Unfortunately, when I was in the DR I forgot a memory card. It took me a while to find one and I got stuck with a lot of phone pics. I thought this was interesting. Lol. We stayed one night in downtown Santo Domingo and it was raw and eye opening. We asked the hotel owner about the air conditioning mentioned online. He opened the window. This is your average telephone pole in Santo Domingo.
