Easter vacation time

The chaotic traffic of Santo Domingo has quieted down with schools closing for the Easter holidays as of Friday, 18 March. Thousands have exited to internal towns and resort areas, and others are just staying home watching TV. Those remaining in Santo Domingo, could tour the Colonial City churches (Cathedral, Convento de los Dominicos, Mercedes, Carmen, San Miguel, La Altagracia and Santa Barbara). The Cathedral of Santo Domingo has scheduled a choral concert of religious music on 8 pm of Friday, 25 March.
