Most visitors to the Dominican Republic go to Punta Cana or other walled-in resorts. But the DR's capital, Santo Domingo, is well worth visiting. The oldest European city in the New World, this city of two million offers a fascinating glimpse into Latin America, and mixes the rich with poor, modern with colonial. I hope you enjoy the tour--this pictures are from a long weekend trip I took in 2003. I recently scanned these negatives. I love the retro feel to them--unlike my digital prints, they are hardly perfect.
