I think that once I know the neighborhoods of a place, is when I feel bored.
More Airbnb frustrations. At least there's nice music and scenery, sitting outside a colmado (bar/convenience store/etc.) where there happens to be wifi. Getting a taste for local culture, people heading out for a night of drinking Presidentes, watching baseball, etc., as stray dogs roam the streets. A cool wind prevails, after a brutally hot day.
Yesterday (Wednesday) wasn't my day. Seems like I'm having a number of challenges from day one in Santo Domingo. Also some achievements.
I went to supermarket for the first time since I've been in Republica Dominicana. A small store in a relatively upscale neighborhood, it even had American-style automatic sliding doors.
The vegetables were about half the price of in the US, but also somewhat flavorless as in US supermarkets. The pastry selection was limited. I did find in the bakery some pan sobao and pan de agua, bread common in Puerto Rico.
Later, after the next Airbnb host had still not responded, I had to find another one. The second place had a wrong address.
