Dolphins entertain

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.
