Happenings in the Zone – September / Septiembre 2014

September is a month of fun. The weather is still hot but there is relief from the heat and humidity coming soon. The threat of a hurricane or tormenta is always there but the Dominican people take it in stride. Remember, if there is rain most likely any outdoor activity will be canceled including Grupo Bonje on Sunday evenings.
