Dominicans take the two day holiday (Holy Thursday and Good Friday) as an opportunity to travel and, most cases, party hard. I did have the opportunity to travel, but not party. (I wanted it that way!)
I went to Constanza, in the central part of the country, way up in the mountains. It is truly spectacular up there and reminded me a lot of my Peace Corps site in Honduras, La Esperanza. Constanza is a nice, sleepy town with cool weather, beautiful scenery, and great agriculture. They even had a green market! Here are a few of the highlights:
Cauliflower!
Beautiful jacaranda tree near our hotel.
Aguas Blancas
Some amiguitos selling calla lillies on the road to Aguas Blancas.
