    Baby green iguanas

    Are there any pet shops that sell baby green iguanas ? Are green iguanas permitted to be sold since they can become a pest like in Florida ? Not indigenous here but could easily thrive.

    Sosúa Western Union

    Only one location in Sosua. Next closest is in Cabarete. The previous location had two or three cashiers. The new location only has room for one cashier.

    Sosúa Western Union

    Western Unión has moved as of May 1 and it is a nightmare now. One cashier only and you are forced to stand on the sidewalk on Dr. Rosen in the sun if there are more than 6 people inside. And there is always a line outside. I personally will drive to Western Union in Janet's in Cabarete...

    Eggs

    I buy 30 for 198 pesos and always immediately refrigerate them. Almost never a bad egg in 10 years.

    Cangrejo bridge closed due to major structural failure.

    I used públicos to go to Puerto Plata on Saturday. So I was in 4 different públicos to go and come back. All four drivers said one week to be open but when I crossed the bridge to come back I asked a senior looking National Police officer and he said 2 weeks.

    Dr. Gomez at CMC

    That's a plus. I'm one of those people that can speak Spanish fairly well but have a hard time understanding long conversations.
