This is a Military parade on the Malecon in Santo Domingo on the Dia de Independencia/Independence Day celebration. Feb. 27. It is a very festive time for all.
"Unhappy Boy" This boy would not smile no matter how we tried. I think he was smiling inside, he just didn't want to show it.
"Dirty Boy" taking a bath. This little boy was enjoying his bath/swim in his bateya infront of his house while his mother was hanging laundry.
A group of people and their little dog too, all watching a tire being changed. This was in a mountain town along a little traveled dirt path, that is said to be a road.
Sniffy, the blind dog, and her friend hanging out in the Colmado. Notice both of them are smiling!!
A Colmado in the campo. Playing baseball with a large piece of yucca root.

This is a nice little house in Paso Bajito located on the mountain pass between Constanza and Jarabaccoa. The girls were happy to pose in front of their home.
Chicharones (fried pork skins) being sold along a street. The ladies in the back are boiling platano over the fire. The man is waving a plastic bag over the food to keep the flies away.
Behind a market in Dominican Republic. The chickens have their legs tied waiting for the slaughter. The gutter is red. The interesting thing (I wish the camera was better) is the man sitting amongst the chickens. He had no legs. He was sitting with the chickens with their legs tied. I just thought this was so interesting..
A group of people gathering to watch the people in the "Glass House". This was a television reality show of a man and woman living for 1 month together in a glass house located on Calle El Conde in the center of the Colonial Zone. There was always a crowd watching the people along with the TV cameras always on. *Afternote-The people in the Glass House, who had never met before this show, ended up getting married about a year after the show ended. Happy endings do happen.
Real Life and Times in the Dominican Republic
Going to Carnival. The kids and mother had their faces painted for the fun.
