Dominican Ears

Celebration or riot

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | Wednesday, 25 January 2006 | Views [493]

Well after a long day at work yesterday I was jsut settling in for the night when I began to hear horns, gun shots/fireworks, cheering/yelling, car horns, music and general mayhem in the streets. This is not unusual for most nights but this was a bit more and definetely more people. We also were a little surprised by it as it was at least midnight and before that the nigh had been all quiet.

I asked to day at work what was going on and was told Licey won the baseball against the eagles. I was also warned that if they win tonight the celebrations will go a lot longer and there will be more people. As they will ahve won the series against them.... all ofthis over some local baseball.... here I was thinking it was political!!!!
