Today is the day. Dominicans pull out their newly updated cedulas and with their best penmanship mark and X (I assume it's an X) for the candidate who paid them them the most or called them the most. Technically the bars are closed (I did say technically) as are the grocery stores. Playero being closed, that's like I don't know what. Has Playero been closed before? Must be serious.
Not being one to cower in my villa behind concentric rings of armed security while democracy plays out all around me, I'm looking for suggestions.
How does one go about passing the time of day if one wishes to experience heulgas, hordes of enthusiastic locals waving flags, disrupting traffic, burning tires and firing wildly into the air in some great big quasi-sexual release? My normal hunt through Playero for some common item that is placed on a self nowhere near where I think it should be is not available to me today. I have the whole day to soak up local culture and tradition. To Experience the real Dominican Republic and third world democracy in action. Where should I go and what should I do? How do I find out where a polling station is in Sosua? I just might park my moto across the street, lean back against some wall that has been urinated on only twenty five times this month and watch...
