I had to share this. Our niece and her husband in Santo Domingo had a son several months ago, first child, first grandchild. She’s always dressing him up for themed photo ops, and I love this one.

I assume the military parade on the malecon is not happening today? or?

No, canceled due to Covid.

No, canceled due to Covid.

Thought so. Thank You!

Invited to city hall, but wife declined.

We were at Zona Colonial. I didn't see a parade but there were lots of formalities. Tons of people dressed up, gun salute, and music.

Such a shame (but understandable due to COVID-19) cause that military parade rocks.
Especially when the special forces parade by not making a sound ‼️

I have always wondered where they hide all the equipment on display during the parade. All the trucks, cars, moto's, skidoo's, etc. etc. I mean pristine looking like they have been warehoused somewhere waiting for parade day, as you never see anything like that on the streets or in use anywhere. Not a dent scratch any where. 😇
