My week in Santiago is coming to an end and I leave tomorrow for a week in Cabarete and renting a car to do some more exploring. Even though Santiago is not a "tourist" town I thoroughly enjoyed my week here. What amazes me about this place, especially the downtown area, is how clean the streets are. With so many people walking around etc. you don't see rubbish in the streets or along the sidewalks. And the people here are very friendly with everyone seeming to get a kick out of my limited Spanish! Anyway, here's a few more pics:

Thank you for the great photos, and for your posts, yelkcub. Glad you had a good trip, and it must have been very satisfying to come so far and meet those whom you are helping too.

Nice pix, Robin.
I agree with you about Santiago.
It's my favorite big city in the DR.
It blows away both Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata.
It may not be where I want to live, but I do think that it's the DR's greatest city.

Doggonit, we never got together, but man! Your pics of the downtown area do capture its character. Thanks for posting.

Have a good rest in Cabarete..to over to Chez Cheo down at the end of the little street there by Supermercado Janet and have a bite...say Hi to my grandkids that are running around the place...

I"m trying to up load this photo.

OK:
First of all this is the link you're posting for the picture in question above (without the asteriks):

****http://c/Documents and Settings/Juan Julio Rojas/Mis documentos/Mis im?genes/foto de crystal 36.jpg

The link goes to your desktop folder holding your pictures, not the link that you get once the picture is loaded to the image hosting website.

In the event that you upload the picture to the image hosting website, your link will look somehting like this (without the asteriks):

****http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w304/b-sidecom/angelina jolie/angelina-jolie-16.jpg

That in such case would look like this here, done properly with the post image in DR1 forum:

angelina-jolie-16.jpg


Got it????

Forum pic posting instructions

First, go download PixResizer, so that the pic you want to post on DR1 can be made small enough that it doesn't stretch the page out so wide that there is a slide bar at the bottom.

Image resizing, do it with PIXresizer

Unzip the file and install the program.

For this example, we are putting the pic that we want to post, on the desktop.
Open the Pixresizer program, select "Work with one file" then click on "Load Picture".
Select the pic and click on "Open"

Then click on "Save File", select the desktop as the download location, then click on "Save".

aa2575x568.jpg



Then click on "Save Picture" and a smaller version of your original pic will be saved to your desktop. ready to be uploaded to the host site, in this case, Photobucket.

The next step is to go to
Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket
and log in. (If you are not already a member, you have to join first)

I really think TinyPic.com is super easy and fast

once you have a shortcut of the website..

just open the site
hit browse
find your picture where ever they are stored in your computer
highlight the one you want
click the OPEN field donw on the lower right of the tiny pic screen
now it is next to the "browse" field
below that is a field for calling your picture a name...but just type any number in there

below that is a field for RESIZING

open the choices and select "message boards"

then hit the upload button

it will put your picture in a field , and then promt you to copy that field

the one I use is called "IMG for forums and message boards"

you copy( you can highlight or click the button they give you) and then go to your forum and paste

easy as pie

photobucket is cool, a little elementary for 2008 but cool....
