A tid bit on the Dominican Republic.

Reading this you might think to yourself, Dominican Republic? Where is that? I have never heard of that country. The Dominican Republic is a little humble country that sits on the island of Hispanola in the Carribean sea. Dominican Republic share the island with the country of Haiti to the west. Before the country was colonized by Spain it was inhabited by the native Taino indians and its first name was Quisqueya and it is still a term that is widely used today.

Santo Domingo the capital of the country is the oldest continously inhabited city in the Americas. What Dominican Republic is mostly known for is the nations beautiful beaches with turqouise water and white sand. Also many famous baseball players are of Dominican descent but there are many other things that are great about Quisqueya. Such as the music, arts, cuisine, history and culture. I would recommend everyone to atleast google Dominican Republic you will be amazed and what you will discover.
