A small pod of dolphins mesmerized the entire southeastern coastline yesterday, as thousands watched the animals swim along the coast. Hundreds of cars stopped along the highways to allow their passengers to watch the show. From 9am until well after 6pm that day, the dolphins advanced along the shoreline and gave the people a spectacle to remember. In addition to the diversion, their presence might also be a good sign, as dolphins do not like contaminated water. The marine mammals, ten in number, went from West to East, from Punta Caleta towards La Romana.
