I have been wanting to write and entry on Culture and festivals. Here in the Dominican Republic, there are many fiestas and holidays. Many are celebrated with singing and dancing and eating food. There are traditional dances for different occasions. When there are celebrations, there is always good spirit in the air and even the tiniest children participate.

-January 1 - New Year's Day
