Je pense à la république Dominicaine et sa capitale St Domingue , la garde du château !!

Puerta Del Conde
The purpose of the guards standing there seemed more symbolic and ritual than practical. It was kind of like the guards at Buckingham Palace in London.


The girls enjoyed taking turns standing up there with the guards and having their pictures taken.

One interesting little cultural fact about life down here is that the drivers in Santo Domingo are CRAZY! They’re zig-zagging all over the place. The sounds of the horns, sirens and alarms around the city are ceaseless. OY! With all the crazy drivers, it feels like a suicide mission to try to cross the street as there aren’t many pedestrian pathways. Dr. Rust says we have to act like we own the place when we cross the street, but that is pretty hard to do when you look like an obvious tourist. Yesterday, I wore a bright red t-shirt with a picture of a beach on it… I stood out like a sore thumb, so today I tried my best not to look too touristy by wearing less touristy looking clothes

j'arrive trop tard !!!
