Made it to Dillon and Augustina's

Hello all. Jim and I boarded a public bus to Santo Domingo this morning, met a driver arranged for us by our hosts in Santiago who took us to our nephew (close enough) Dillon's apartment. Different world here as we expected: Hot water that runs without priming a pump and risking a shock when you pull the breaker, bustling city instead of horse-drawn milk delivery. We'll see if the yipping dog made the trip. The rascal seemed to follow us yesterday from Las caobas to Santiago. We may be content to listen to traffic tonight. They are taking us out to dinner this  evening. Had streeside hors d'oeuvres of fried pork and boiled cassava for starters. Both healthy and well.
