Republica Dominicana

Hola Chicos,
Just had a lovely Easter WE in Dominican Republic (DR) with my sister and my flatmate. It was great, we went by bus, it is 5-6 hours driving from Port-au-Prince. It was a nice trip in a very comfortable air-conditionned coach. Food/drinks were even served, we also watched movies!!!! We booked a nice and cosy hotel located in the center of the Colonial Zone in an old 16th century restored convent. The building is classified as "World Heritage" by UNESCO. The building was used as the foundation of a "Beaterio" by the widow Doña Maria de Arana little before she left for Spain in 1556. We had a great fun, visited the city, went to Boca Chica beach, danced salsa/merengue/bachata/reggaeton, drank Mojito and Pina Colada (avec modération évidemment ).
On sunday, it will be the 1st round of the senatorial election in Haiti so we all have to work on the WE to monitor the situation. The atmosphere is already a bit tense let's see........
I will keep you posted.
Bonne après midi
Hugs

Here's a background piece on the upcoming Senate election in Haiti I found insightful:
