shipping address? do we even have one? there is no mail delivery in Las Terrenas

Last year in Las Terrenas, I spoke with numerous real estate "brokers*" (* there is no real estate licensing in the DR, so I use the term loosely). All of them said they never had a client get a real estate mortgage. Some of them have been in business for over 20 years.

wonder if the restaurant will place on the menu: "Ray Liotta's Last Steak Special"
