Greeting from the road!
Our plane touched down in Santo Domingo at 1:30pm. Mariano, a friend of Harold's came and picked us up and bought us to Harold and Georgina's condo. I was last here in 1992 and 1993- boy has it changed - very modern. Georgina didn't speak very much English at the beginning, but when she understood that our Spanish is limited she has started to speak more English. Georgina is a medical student a the local university.
Harold came home at about 6 and we had a long talk at the house. We got some great pointers and then we went out for an excellent meal out on the water. I had a wonderful fish soup that was as thick as a step and one of my favorites - grilled Calamari. The recommended mashed plantains and shrimp was a big hit with Sam and Maryna tried the fajitas. Over all a wonderful meal though we wou't always eat this well.
Dinner was followed by more logistics for our itinerary over the next couple of days. Tonight we had a few AIDS encounters and people seemed very receptive and appreciative. However tomorrow will be our first real AIDS Attacks at a couple of the local high schools and parks.
