What can you buy on the streets of Santo Domingo?

Well… just about anything…

Children?… no not really, but you can buy their service – window washing?

Drinks, soda, water, even alcohol?

Cell phone chargers, Ipod adapters, Blackberry covers?

Reloadable cell phone minutes, cigarettes, news papers, magazines, small chickens, life size wall maps, globes, sugar cane, cookies, sunglasses, t-shirts, dvds…. you name it you can probably get it all through your car window. AND, if they don’t have it, with in a whistle or two they will have someone at your window who does… all for a small  fee.

Life in the DR… It’s never dull!

  5. Speaking of buying stuff - thought of you today...the kids and I headed to Howell for the afternoon. Would you believe me if I told you I came home with something for everyone except myself??
    And no - hand soaps and Peppridge Fram groceries don't count.
