Children wear uniforms with blue polo shirts and beige skirts for girls, shorts for boys. They are looking forward to us and we look forward to giving them candy and notebooks.<\/p>\n<p>]We actually expected a much more dramatic situation; the school in which we are located between several buildings and very clean but as often happens, maybe there is a bit of business that takes advantage of the tenderness that children arouse. Strangely, at the entrance to the school there is a candy stall waiting for tourists, which surprises us and leaves us a little forebound.<\/p>\n<p>However, children are as tender as that of every place in the world; they look at us, they study our clothes, cell phones and cameras, someone is attentive to dollar movements almost as much as they wanted a banknote rather than a cookie and maybe that would be what they really need at home. We play and talk to the children, wrongly we take some photos with them.. but that&#8217;s another reflection.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"15884\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.beboheme.com\/en\/buggy-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?fit=2304%2C1536&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2304,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"buggy-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15884\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?resize=1100%2C733&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"buggy-2\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?w=2304&amp;ssl=1 2304w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?resize=750%2C500&amp;ssl=1 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?resize=1050%2C700&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?resize=1170%2C780&amp;ssl=1 1170w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.beboheme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/motorata-4.jpg?w=2200&amp;ssl=1 2200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Second stop of our Safari is in riding school; if you want to live as a Dominican you also have to know how to ride or at least try..
