My DR '07 Trip

It's been a while since I've posted anything on DR1 but I always check the forums and the news thru here......anyhow, I'll be posting pics soon but wanted to leave the thread open so I remember it tomorrow....pics are forthcoming. 5 days of fun so far.....

P.S: Hope all have enjoyed the new year so far!

It's been fun, I haven't had this much fun in years, haven't drank this much since I was in the service with my buddies, overall a great trip so far and it's not over!!

Here go some pics...since I come down and stay in the family home, I carry myself as a local and don't like the tourists spots so much.


First night, with one of my friends and his crazy t-shirt with a "fuel" gauge


The liquor store, which is the new trend here, on Lope de Vega Avenue....it was fun


One of our friends and another friend, she's 6'2" and he's 5'6"! Hahaha

Sunday the 30th:


Me and a civil engineer friend at a local colmado, across from Diamond Mall on Los Proceres Ave.


Some more friends, she's the editor of Messenger Mag, a youth oriented mag, he's a systems engineer, good people...


Some more friends, those two made up their drink on the spot, haha!


Another group pics with the Low Romo shirt guy, some girl and the engineer girl

More on the next post...

Ok, here's some more...


This had to be the craziest name for a drink ever, "Leche de Cabra Pajara" made with condensed milk, white rum and some unknown ingredient which our friend Mike in the red shirt made in the colmado, he won't reveal the ingredient and it's copyrighted by the good folks at Ke Dificil and the Rataloka......if you live here and read local blogs, you'd know, haha!


The first person to taste the "Wicked Lesbian Goat's Milk" and she liked it


With some of the guys


A pic with some of the ladies....


A group pic but I didn't want to join, the bar we went to had closed down so we waited for sunrise in the Malecon, it was hilarious....

New Year's Eve:


With the mag editor's brother, my crazy t-shirt friend and me


This time, the guys and the young lovely lady in the middle who is the mag editor's cousin, a beautiful young woman....


A little love for New Years with my friend

Some more in the next one....

Here we go again....


Look what alcohol does to people! Hahahaha! Leave the vodka at home!


A drink and a pretty girl never hurts


Always a good time with the ladies around, hehe! Austin Powers mode: on


Group pic!


The following morning, at 7:30 AM in some other city park!


Me and my friend Eveline


Eveline, a friend who runs a big website down here and me in the middle, I was so drunk it's not even funny! Who cares!

The pics just don't stop, do they? Haha...

I'll post some more later!

Excuse-ah-moi, Suarezn, that colmado is in Arroyo Hondo! Hahahaha.....I hadn't done the colmado thing since I was like 17 and I'm 26 now

There's more pics but I have to upload them first, just got back from a day trip to Bavaro last night so I was tired....

Here's some more from yesterday's day trip to Bavaro, left on Wednesday and came back last night:


Montecristo Cafe Punta Cana with my cousin and a friend of his, the place is much bigger and nicer environment than the one in Santo Domingo


A Hurricane from the Hard Rock Punta Cana /jumo ..........yesterday at 12


One of the bartenders at the Hard Rock with a didgeridoo


One of my friends that lives in Bavaro at the Palma Real shopping center........a beautiful, educated, lovely product of Santiago!


A farewell kiss, hehe


Back to the capi last night, a campo in Higuey and the foothills of El Seybo in the background

Last but not least, if you're tired and want to have some fun on the way to Bavaro:


That's all folks!

I actually hadn't posted some of the pics from Monday when I drove to Santiago! It had been 10 years since the last time I went, it's even prettier than before!


Between Villa Altagracia and Bonao, a huge cloud rolling in....


I didn't think that the HOMS would be this big, but that thing is humongous!


Look at that Monument, beautiful thing to see!


From up close this time....


This is a friend from Santiago who was on her way to Centro Leon for some lectures, a quick pic before she left.....


These pictures are of famous paintings and other works of art, they are located all around the Gran Teatro del Cibao, I love how they expose art and culture to the masses out there

I might reconsider buying a condo in Santo Domingo by the next time I come to the DR if I make another trip to Santiago, an absolutely marvelous city. I did take a picture of the "Milky Way" which starts with the cabanas by Leche Rica and ends at the outskirts of the city, but it was blurry! No Bora Bora pics, haha!
