La Ramona, Dominican Republic

  La Ramona, Dominican Republic, welcomes you with coral beaches and dancers on the pier. The Dominican Republic is a large island/country, and we had lots of choices for excursions. We chose to go to  Altos de Chavón , a re-creation of a medieval European village. Its construction began in 1976 when the construction of a nearby road and bridge crossing the Chavón River had to be blasted through a mountain of stone. The developers  had the idea of using the stones to build a sixteenth-century Mediterranean village. Construction was completed in the early 1980s.     It was a beautiful place, and the shuttle ride there was very inexpensive. As always, the locals loved Santa!
