... Great card nr5 from postcard friend Glenn♥... I'm gonna miss these almost daily "exotic" surprises㋡... it is the most popular attraction in the La Romana region and hosts a cultural center, an archaeological museum, church and amphitheater... sculpted in stone, the site is an impressive example of what a Mediterranean-inspired village would have looked like on the island long ago... this church is as a treasured destination for weddings... dear
Glenn it was a great pleasure to be a little part of your holiday... and thanks so much for helping to enlarge my postcard collection with fantastic new places!!\_(♥‿♥)_/
