The TOP souvenirs to take home from Dominican Republic...

[ticia277]

Reed & I tasted the Mamajuana at a local shop and it was STRONG. It felt like I was gonna grow hairs on my chest.

 

I bought a Larimar earring & bracelet for my Goddaughter, some Santa Domingo coffee, a coral earring & necklace for me and some Brugal rum. My MIL bought us a faceless Taino wood doll.

 

The shopping and bargaining was good in Higuey. I actually paid $40 for all my items.

The mamajuana IS strong - that's why they call t "Dominican Viagra" ~ but we drank it every day and brought plenty home. Now we and my brother make our own from the herbs we brought home and it's always a hit when we have people over! When you make it on your own, you can add more honey and red wine to sweeten it up a bit and the more you make it and let it sit, the better it will taste.

When we visited Puerto Plata we brought home the faceless doll and mamajuana and they were a hit!!

I collect dolls and now fascinated with the faceless doll.

 

So since we are sharing thought I'd share pics.

 

 

I would love to add these to the OTT. What about Dominican instruments? Maraca's are easier to find but I understand they use the guira, can't find those to use as favors and 'couple salutes'. ummmmm

TLC4Rock, those are so beautiful! That's for posting a pic. I know quite a few quests of mine that would love those.
