At Detrás del Rumor, Fabio took a drive through Sosua at 4:30 just before quarantine.
The town looks less than appealing or vibrant for tourism.
A sad statement of current times.
Dominicans are suffering.
As to local situations, I just talk to my family daily and friends all of who live there or in the area.
Well yes, close to curfew everything looks dead but I was in Sosua yesterday earlier in the day and there was life. When he drove by Kings it was already closed. Kings has had more people with the outside seating almost full several times when I have been there lately. I was talking with Ray the owner the other day and told him there were more people than a usual July ,to which he agreed. I think it was the pent up energy that had weekend warriors racing to the airports to come down.
I am not saying Sosua is thriving but in my view having lived in Sosua through the summer seasons, and when considering the Wuhan scare there are more people than I would have expected. I didn't make it to the beach yesterday but there were LOTS of cars parked on both sides of the road near the entrance between Charamincos and Sosua (no busses as there would normally have been though).
