Hi-
I'm a first time user. Just learned of DR1 and am happy to see it and learn from your experiences.
My husband and I are planning retirement in a couple of years and are exploring places to live 4-5 months out of the year. We have never been to the DR and plan to visit this summer to explore. During retirement, we don't want to live in a resort, would like to be near water in a spanish speaking place that is not fast paced. We would also like to be with professional Dominicans. Is there a university nearby? I am a university professor who would like to do some local work. Also, some modern amenities please. Any ideas for how we should go about exploring when we visit this summer? Or any ideas about places that fit our description? I look forward to your ideas.
By the way, are their social service agencies or other government agencies that help with education, or social work type issues?
Thanks,
Muriel
