I have a $100.00 bet with a local Frenchie that Fisherman's Village would not be rebuilt by Christmas 2023. I think I'll be able to collect it soon enough. This video is about a month old. Hopefully, it'll be completed by Spring Break 2024. Just in time for another fire. The reported cost to...

I noticed that if you live in Las Terrenas, there is now a wait list if you want to order Starlink. Goes to show how crappy the current internet service being provided by Claro, Telenord, etc
