Sunday in Santo Domingo

The curmudgeonette took us to mass at the Cathedral this morning. The 12:00 mass started at 12:15. I departed 30 minutes into the homily and decided to worship at my blog. She stayed on.
Tourist prices prevail in this colonial section of the city. Meal costs are similar to downtown Minneapolis.
Good or bad I can´t help comparing Santo Domingo with Bangkok. On a twenty block walk yesterday I passed 6 places to eat. In Bangkok that walk would have brought me by at least 200. Here there are virtually no street vendors. There are a few small motorcycles compared to 1000s in BKK. The weather is similar; pleasantly tropical with an occasional afternoon shower.
