From today's Sosua News:

[h=5]Thursday, August 16, the 'D?a de la Restauraci?n' is celebrated. Under the inspiring leadership of General Gregorio Luper?n on August 16, 1863 the Spaniards were beaten and had to surrender and leave the country. For the second time the Dominican Republic was proclaimed an independent country. But there's more. This day is also used to say goodbye to President Leonel Fern?ndez and to welcome the new president and vice president Danilo Medino and Margarita Cede?o de Fern?ndez. Also in Sos?a, mainly in Charamicos, this day will be celebrated.[/h]

I assume this day won't be changed to Friday for any chance? I could really use long weekend.

Well said dv8....

Most of the tobacco companies will be working this Saturday in order to allow for the holiday and long weekend.

Here, this is called a "bridge"

I'll see what people have to say about this.
Like I said I really need that extra day.
