oh......
it's not that bad, especially if you feel restricted when driving in the u.s.
in the d.r., you can have tons of fun!!!!!
i actually prefer driving at night in the capital versus the day.
exact opposite in the rest of the country.
looking forward to my next trip:
2 weeks- picking up the car at sti, north coast to samana, then down to the capital, then to barahona/pedernales and back to santiago.
