That is a wonderful post and is closely in line with my direct experience with the warmth of the Dominican culture for the last 25 years. The exuberance and overwhelming joy of the people is a terrific societal model. My wife's family has consistently shown me and my family love from day one. It is a pleasure to spend time in a community with their priorities in proper order. Thank you for posting this Dolores!
