A palm tree from the Nacional Botanical Garden.... (Jardín Botánico Nacional)
Josh and I have been doing lots of stuff in the busy city of Santo Domingo. This palm tree look very peaceful--and the Botanical Garden was the epitome of beauty-- but this city is anything but quiet. The streets are filled with people, motorcycles, bikes, cars, and trucks. As you pass through the winding streets, you can hear blasts of music coming from dimly lit cafes and bars. The buildings are loud too-- the colors that is. The vibrancy and quantity of yellow, orange, blue, and red only confirms that Santo Domingo is 100% Tropical.
This is the view from the top of the apartment building where we are staying. It is a very beautiful building with many barred windows and tile floors. Yesterday, the rain calmed some of the intense heat that we have been experiencing. Josh and Esteban couldn't resist going out on the roof and "taking a dip."
Here are a few examples of the food… if only you could smell this!
Moro de guandules
Plátano maduro
