For those in Puerto Plata
The Puerto Plata section of the Fundacion Francisco Alberto Caama?o had its doors wide open this morning & exhibits out on the street - photos of the Revolution, pasted on yellowing paper with bits of sticky tape, newspaper cuttings of the time etc. But these rather badly preserved treasures are not the richest posessions of the Fundacion. The guys there are walking volumes of history and they will tell you so many stories about the Revolution. I had the privilege of meeting the man who commanded the revolutionaries in the province of Puerto Plata. He is 77 now with an amazing recall. Wish I could have stayed longer. For those who want to find out about history from one of the participants, yet who don't speak Spanish.........this man speaks English (he lived in US for 27 years post revolution). Absolutely fascinating - I'll be going back soon.
The Fundacion is on Calle Duarte, between Amber Museum & Parque Central and just round the corner from Telecable in Padre Castlellanos.
