Santo Domingo

I went on a coach tour - Panoramic Santo Domingo - well there is not a lot panoramic or otherwise ! This place was allegedly discovered by Christopher Columbus, but I think that it was probably one that he quickly forgot !
There is a Cathedral, but we did not stop there ! I mentioned this fact to a fellow passenger and he said ' well, it's because it's old - they're closing them all down - it's all mosques now' Such pearls of wisdom are available free on a cruise tour !
Watched a very good talent show by the passengers - quite a variety of talent, pianist, guitarist, mouth organ, Dean Martin ( not exactly !) and Frank Sinatra ( not at all !)
In all 13 participants several of whom could easily have got on at the Foresters- including Ella Fitzgerald ( very nearly) and a lady who gave a beautiful rendition of ' I dreamed a dream' from Les Miserables

  1. Hi Harold - Foresters?

    In 1885 Dan Leno was offered his first big London engagement at Foresters Music Hall (Mile End) and of course the Foresters Club and DogHouse Saloon is Idaho's hotest night club.

    However - I'm wondering if I might be missing something?
