We're back from the Dominican Republic (our fourth trip this year) where we worked for the Diocese of the Dominican Republic to photograph the consecration of a new Episcopal church on November 10 (

) and a worship service at another Episcopal church on November 11 (

). The online album for the new church consecration currently has a small preliminary set of images, but will be expanded soon to hold a complete set.
In both our October and November 2018 trips, we flew from and back to Atlanta and parked our vehicle at the parking deck adjacent to the International Terminal. Parking rates there are $14/day, and shuttle transportation to and from the International Terminal is quick and easy. If any of you are thinking of starting the 2019 trip in Atlanta and would like to have more information about this International Terminal parking arrangement, please contact us (contact information is below).
