You guys know dominica closed on sunday..so why have boats come the place looks like a ghost town..we are to far from the truth the country needs better leaders
Any news on the reported brawl between Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna.
The town will probably be empty that day.
Why ?? it is a Sunday and Christmas day to boot. No shops open. So the tourist can walk around a closed town and see what ?? How filthy it is.
I do hope that you guys have the decency to decorate the bay front eg a chritmas tree lights and carols that is all we are asking for.
