Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (January 17th 08)

Mon voyage en Repubilque Dominicaine commenca a Punta Cana, puis transfert a bord d'un petit avion a Santo Domingo. Nous avons eu un temps magnifique durant toute la duree de notre sejour

My trip to Dominican Republic started in Punta Cana, then transferred by a light aircraft onto Santo Domingo. We had a fantastic weather all throughout our stay!

Le drapeau de la Republique Dominicaine a ete adopte en novembre 1844. Le bleu et le rouge proviennent du drapeau d'Haiti, qui avant controlait la Republique Dominicaine. La croix blanche represente la foi. Le blason au centre represente un bible ouverte avec une croix en or au-dessus. La devise du pays est : "Dieu, Patrie, Liberte"

The Dominican Republic flag was officially adopted on November 6, 1844. The blue and red are from the flag of Haiti, which once controlled the Dominican Republic. The white cross is symbolic of faith. The centered coat of arms appears on the flag for national and state use only. That coat of arms displays an open bible topped by a gold cross. Above the arms the Trinitarian motto is displayed, Dios, Patria, Libertad. (God, Country, Freedom)
