Show STUDY IN CONTRASTS ... In connection with the 450th anniversary of founding of Ciudad Trujillo, oldest city in the new world, a recent airview of the city (top photo) shows how the recent modernization program has transformed the ancient city into one of the most modern mod-ern in Latin America. Parallel to the sea runs Avenlda Washington. The shaft is the Dominican Washington monument, dedicated to lasting friendship between the Dominican republic and the United States. In sharp oontrast is the street scene (lower photo) showing Ciudad Trujillo Tru-jillo at the time when it still was known as Santo Domingo. At that time more than one-third of the nation was "ill-fed, ill-clad and ill-housed." |
