San Franciso de Macori


A width sky, beautiful beach and full of sunshine is my first impression in Dominican Republic. Where located in the zone of Caribbean; near Cuba and Puerto Rico. Is one of the Latin country in Central America. I'd been stay nearly half year long in a peaceful town-it called San Franciso de Macori.

San Franciso de Macori is a second large city. Once I arrived here I went straight to top of our place to take a bird view of the town. Surrounding with small house and palm tree. The highest building was built in the heart of the town. Which is a Catholic Church; still being reconstructe. After I found a good place-top of our house. I alway like to go there. Expecially at sunset, it's a worth moment to looking around, because the reflection color is really beautiful. So fruitful !

In a peaceful town, traffic jam never appears over here. People keen on walking instead driving. Unless driving to the other city. However on Sunday and holiday you don't feel peaceful any more thus the day is a party day. You could hear Latino music Salsa and Merengue around the town. For every Dominicans, they used to gather together eating and dancing in the house. For us, we used to drove 2 hours long to Santiago. Shopping in supermarket or visiting around. Dine or barbecue with our relative at night.
