Visit at the pottery – Part 2
Last week we had some visitors from Ecuador, and boy had they fun. After exploring all the different processes of clay making, which is the base for Amparos decorative pieces.
After that they experienced the turn table, which is a replica used thousands of years ago by Chinese, introduced by the Spaniards and then the used by the inhabitants of the island.
Also they enjoyed the kiln, a replica made by an Dominican expert, used to burn the different items. Next it was time for those you wanted to leave their permanent hand prints on the wall ( see picture) They also left their personal e-mail addresses in our visitors book so we can keep in touch. After purchasing some of the arts sold in the store it was time again to continue the city tour, everybody left with a happy face and some new knowledge about the magic world of ceramic and terra cotta.
Ferry Santo Domingo, DR – San Juan, Puerto Rico
Starting May 1st, the company Ferries del Caribe will provide its marine transport service from Santo Domingo directly to the Puerto Pan-Americano, located in Isla Grande, San Juan.
In a statement, the company said the cruise-ferry ship Caribbean Express will continue its Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule between Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic, now departing at 6 p.m. to arrive at both destinations the following morning at 8 p.m.
Ferries del Caribe president Nestor Gonzalez said they transferred operations to San Juan after its thousands of passengers and commercial customers demanded better facilities such as common areas and parking.
The shipper said the transfer of operations, now “capital to capital,” will save time and money for the ferry’s passengers and customers, because the previous port was Mayaguez. He said his company transports 170,000 passengers, 19,000 vehicles and 11,000 containers between both ports annually.
The company also plans to build its own terminal in the country, which according to what Ferries executives said during a recent visit, will be in the eastern Santo Domingo harbor Sans Souci.
