For Berezin

I took some pictures of some light eyes Dominicanas for you- posted on the media Gallery under my albums. I saw many more green, gray, hazel., and blue eyed Dominicans but only took a couple of pictures of people I know personally, so I know they aren't contacts.

The one thing that amazes me is how a person can genetically appear almost pure negroid but have blue or green eyes when brown eyes are supposed to genetically predominate. I had an interesting vacation at least from my point of view, It might have been a little boring for many of the posters. I visited the graveyard with my wife where she got me to take pictures of about 100 grave markers, went to the city hall and took photo of every page recoding the names of the dead, ages and causes of death from 1920-1966 in Jarabacoa. Visited a number of very old people, several 100 plus years old. Had a long interesting talk with a Dr Jose Jimenez, the designer of the Jarabacoa Heraldic crest and a Spanish and British trained Doctor. Attended a Baptism in the mountains, very interesting for a non practising person. Very humble religious folks that can really sing. Walked by a house just as a young teenagers had an epileptic fit( still needs test to confirm) All the idiots at the house were drunk and didn't have a clue what to do. I put her in the recovery position while my wife phoned a taxi. Within five minutes we had the girl in a 24 hour medical clinic(private) with immediate attention from a doctor. Mom and Dad live in Santo Domingo and the girl was just visiting for the holidays. Thankfully she seems to be OK. More later.

No offense, The Berzin reference is from an earlier post where he stated that the only Dominicans with eye colours other than brown or black must be wearing coloured contacts. My wife and mother-in-law tell me that in the area around Jarabacoa, back when the population was only around 3000 the majority of people were white. Many of these white gentlemen were typical Dominicans producing many children with different women out of wedlock(strange word isn't it) This, I believe is the reason for the darker skin people with light eyes.
