The Locals

A trip anywhere isn't worth it if you don't interact with the locals. Luckily Mike is a pro at "off the beaten track" adventures, so we followed some locals around various villages. I have to admit out of all the Latin speaking countries I've visited, the Dominicans are by far the most beautiful, non-threatening, free spirited and friendly people I've seen.

It's normal to see 4-5 guys on a single motorcycle -
these guys are carrying roosters for a cockfight
Gluing on spikes for the fight
Typical homes all over the DR

Future Yankees

Warning: this is NOT for animal lovers
