In this week\u2019s \u2018Memories of Casa de Campo\u2019 post, our wonderful weekly writer and photographer, Carol Burke leads us through La Romana as a tourist in the 1980\u2019s, complete with souvenirs and a trip to the post office!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.<\/em> \u2014 Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) British politician and author
\n
\nThe traveler sees what he sees, the tourist see what he has come to see.<\/em> \u2013 Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) British journalist, novelist and poet<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When it\u2019s very cold in the north, the snow birds flock to the south.
\nEvery year we would welcome a visiting snow bird or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the beach and other activities and pleasures of Casa de Campo, they would want to go to La Romana to see the sights and pick up some souvenirs of their vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Shopping for Souvenirs
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the favorite souvenirs was the wooden painted fish. These were very popular and easy to pack.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Caribbean Wooden Fish
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wooden birds were also popular, but they were painted in a more realistic manner than the fish.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Wooden Egret Family
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every visitor wanted to send a post card home. The La Romana Post Office was always an interesting place to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sending Post Cards Home \u2014 The La Romana Post Office
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A ferreteria (hardware store) near the La Romana market sold wooden animals too.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Dominican Wooden Cow
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a place just outside of town which sold painted earthenware figures and music boxes that played familiar Dominican tunes. This place was always exciting (adrenaline-wise) to shop at because it was on the highway where cars, trucks, buses, and moto-conchos played a never-ending, fast-moving game of tag.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Music Boxes and Figures
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music boxes I bought still play. I wound one of them up yesterday afternoon, but not much music happened. Then around midnight it started playing the tune, La Cosquillita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I always liked the little Dominican house I found in La Romana. It is a 3-D painting with the lady of the house looking out the window and you can see book shelves and furniture inside. This house has a thatched roof and real wooden shingles on the exterior and it hangs on the wall like any painting.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Little Dominican House On the Wall
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most colorful wooden fish were these polka-dot fish to hang on your wall.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Polka-Dot Fish
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was fun but exhausting to take the visitors around La Romana helping them pick out souvenirs to bring back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
