Several of your visitors are still concerned about the effects of hurricane Georges. Let me put these concerns to rest. First, the noth coast, Puerto Plata, Sosua, Cabarete, Santiago, etc. were not affected.
Bavaro, La Romana, San Pedro, Juan Dolio, Boca Chica, and to a lesser degree, Santo Domingo were hard hit. On September 23rd trees, power lines, and buildings were down everywhere. I thought it would take many months or years to get back to normal. The countryside looked like a dessert. The trees that didn't fall were defoliated.
I am pleased to report that in all the above mentioned areas, all services are back to normal. Hotels are all open again, and many have improved their landscaping. Everywhere it is green again. You would not believe it ever happened. A tremendous tribute to the Government, the people, and the generous aid from other countries. A Herculean effort!
