March 2, 2016December 19, 2018 rdgringa 4 Comments Everything Else, Road Trip

I usually don´t get into the Carnival much these days. I hate sweaty humans all mashing and grinding into me.

The grand finale Carnival was Sunday March 6th in Santo Domingo on the Malecon. I didn’t go to the main part of carnival. I just wasn’t up for all the crowds, noise and people all mashing up against each other and also the need to watch all around you for those nasty thieves. So I […]
