Hi everyone,
So I have to do some fieldwork in August, yes, dead at the onset of hurricane season and on the coast...yay for me. I have the choice of doing my work in either San Pedro or in Barahona. I've been to both places, but only for a day. I remember Barahona being very beautiful and I remember el malecon in San Pedro gets PACKED and is a giant party at night, but besides that, I don't know that much. How is public transpo in Barahona?? My impression was that it was very small town-ish. Are there still carros conchos or at least motoconchos? How are taxis?
If you had to chose to spend a month in either of these places, which would it be and why? What are the pros and cons of each place? Any of you out there??
