Are you planning a Dominican Republic vacation? Making a business trip to Santo Domingo? Or considering investing in Dominican Real Estate?

Well, my sister and I were born in the heart of the Dominican Republic, near to San Francsico de Macoris. We spent many innocent wonderful years living in rustic homes and simple communities and we still really LOVE our special island home.
