In the time of pirates, this island came to be known as Hispaniola, a change in pronounciation and spelling from the original name given by Christopher Columbus (Isla Espaniola). Now we are the Dominican Republic (DR), sharing a border with Haiti. Two bodies of water surround us; to the North, the Atlantic Ocean, and to the South, the Caribbean Sea. Cuba sits to our west; Jamaica, SW. Puerto Rico is directly east, the Virgin Islands a little farther east, and the island nations of the Lesser Antilles arc south and east from there. Turks &amp; Caicos lies directly north, the Bahamas NE.
