NaBloPoMo - Day 26
Day 26
I skipped Day 25 on purpose. It's not that I was extremely busy or anything. In fact, I practically laid down all day doing nothing. I just didn't felt like it. I am glad this is almost over it. I enjoy posting, but I don't like the pressure of having to do it every day. Still, I'm pretty amazed that I managed to do this and only failed three days (so far).
Remember my NaBloPoMo post where I talked about the Dominican money?
Well, a few weeks ago a new $200 DOP will was presented and I love it. I love it's colors and more than anything I love that it honors Minerva, Patria, and María Teresa Mirabal. These sisters were assassinated by the dictator Rafael Leonidas Trujillo in 1960. If you want to read a little about their story, go here. If you want to know about that horrible dictator and all the atrocities he did, go here. It's a very interesting and sad story. That man is to blame for the chaos that still rules this country.
The $200 DOP bill is worth $6 more or less (as of today).
They also released a new $60 DOP coin that honors a woman named Salomé Ureña de Henríquez but I know nothing about her story. Will look up that info soon.
Oh, if only I had a $200 dollar bill, not pesos. What would I do with them? Would it be totally wrong to spend them on platform shoes from the Lingerie Diva? Hah! I am kidding, of course.
