gets too expensive over there. If I wanted to go to the beach near Santiago, I had to give my bfs dad $800 pesos to fill the tank, so that he could take us (including bring along a cousins and step sister who pays nada in exchange). Also buy roasted chicken which my bf had to buy $500 pesos of his own money because the money exchage office was closed at that time.... I didn't like that because I told my bf in Mexico where I have family, they take us to the beach (which is also 40 min drive) and THEY don't ask us for gas money!!! I think that the DR seems like a poorer country. But I really wanted to go since it's not everyday that I'm at the island, so I paid those $20. I wanted to go to the rio but didn't because I didn't want to pay.. NEway, had a blast at Costambar beach.
