On the terrace of Hotel El Conde, Parque Colon, in Santo Domingo, there is always something going on. In the morning, breakfast while reading a "diario", watching the passers-by and passers-by who take El Conde street. Take a taxi, always ready for the nearest "Parada", the bus station. Or simply wait for the Bachata musicians to settle down next to an elegant one, under the giant ficus in the square. Later will come the shoe shiner and the sweeper...but that's another story.
