    Cabarete Jazz Festival in Puerto Plata this 20 and 21 June

    I've heard it said that Cabarete is like a bucket of crabs. Rather than work together and help each other out, they pull each other back in and no one gets out.

    Privately funded projects on the North Coast

    Compare it to living in a 900 sf2 condo, those dont' seem that bad. They have their own beach and lagoon access. How many units are selling with no beach access? When all the building ends, there won't be any access to kite beach and no parking.

    Arajet Eyes Four More U.S. Markets

    They still don't have a single flight to POP. Key on my wish list - more flights to POP. POP - FLL would be a good start. POP to Hamilton, Ontario another one, POP to Boston or Chicago to open up new markets.

    Privately funded projects on the North Coast

    You can see their pricing if you look at the units on the real estate agents websites - they are impressive renderings, and I think it's in the 450,000 range. I wonder if they will have all the trees that they show in the renderings. Of note - it doesn't' look like the wave in Encuentro is...

    Privately funded projects on the North Coast

    I'm just going to say it out loud - I can't believe that people are paying these prices for the villas on the highway - but when you compare the prices to the all the new stuff about to come online, they are a deal.

    Thanks for the heads up. I have a smoker that I've been using for the last few years, so I'm figured out the wood. I will give Bolivar a call. Thanks Manuel

    Building a wood fire a Pizza Oven

    So fun project. Want to build a wood fire pizza oven. Does anyone have any experience to share? There's tons of videos online. Ideally want to find someone in the Cabarete/Sosua area who's done it before. Any ideas where to get fire bricks? I have some reclaimed clay bricks that I could...

    Uber in Puerto Plata Province

    Even if I paid double, I'm ahead. the quote from UBER is 1/4 what a taxi would charge here. The original concept of UBER was if I'm going this way anyway, may as well pick up some people to share the cost, so maybe some of the drivers do that? I use them a lot in Santo Domingo, almost...

    Uber in Puerto Plata Province

    So sometimes I hang out at the taxi stand just to hear the latest around town. One of the regular moto concho drivers recently upgraded to Taxi driver. Bought the license, borrowed money from the bank, bought a car. He's a good guy and reasonable to talk with so I asked him if it's worth...
