This morning's Tide and the 2.3 meter waves managed to top the sand at the front of the Beach and break into the eroded trench behind. The beach is now vulnerable to large scale erosion from the Ocean. Sand is what makes a Beach..... and SOON..... there will be less. This was preventable.

I figured out something this morning as I walked Sosua Beach. First... (this morning) there is a GIANT water leak pouring a small river through a half dozen “Bars”. It then makes it's way to the Beach and into the Erosion trench at the back of the Beach. Second... on my way back, wanting to...

ESTATUA DE ATABEY EN SOSUA or ATABEY STATUE IN SOSUA This is very large (very strangle looking) Concrete Statue that was started on Sosua Beach years ago. The local Church made a big stink because it was a pagan fertility goddess statue. It disappear for a couple years. The two years ago, it...

Yesterday (Friday Jan 3, 2025) I walked Sosua Beach to Charamicos and back, between 3 and 4pm. What I saw was (at least) 30% of the “Bars” with no one... just bored employees staring at their phones. Half of the “Bars” had one to four guests. The Government has done their best to make it look...

Recently I was in a Bank in Canada. The fellow ahead of me was a Student who had just arrived from Africa. He had previously opened a US Dollar account there. His parents had send him some money (via the Bank) in US Dollars. It was directed to be deposited into his US Dollar account. The Bank...

Did Caribe Express charge you a fee for their service?? If so. . . . how much? Did Remitly charge you a fee for their service?? If so. . . . how much? Dec 24 RBC (via my credit card) gave me 40.88 No fee or extra charges

The story I heard (years ago, no idea if it was true). . . . A General “acquired” the land behind the Beach. He eventually past away and the widow inherited it. She collected Rent..... It was like a pension for her. Then. . . . The “Government” started to strong arm her. She sold. Also...

One of my concerns is lack of attention to water run off. I assume the entire new Plaza area will be surfaced. When it rains, the roofs will dump their water off each end. The ground will be concrete or very compact “gravel” which will pass their rain water (very quickly) downhill. Some water...

Three more shacks "Bit the Dust" #139, and #193, #194 at Los Charamicos end It looks like a change of tactics for the DR Government. They tried extreme force.... Bus loads of Police and Military guarding. A small back hoe working for a couple of days. What they got was a week of bad...

Yesterday (Dec 18) they started ti deconstruct another building. No equipment so far, just labour. It is a the bottom of the ramp on the Los Charamicos end. Right in front of the new Plaza construction.

Just a thought.... It is more difficult to tear buildings down during a Month of rain. The Rain stops.... The buildings come down.

Imagine the damage down there. The water lines are buried 0” to 6” in the sand. I wouldn't be surprised they broke the water lines in multiple places. If the shack had a water pipe.... the ends would have been ripped off. Who is fixing those? They all have to be capped or NO Water ANYWHERE...

The Owners were told...... The Owner may NOT have told the Renters. Some Renters had new Frigs and fresh supplies.... all bulldozed. G O N E !

I imagine the Beach will be closed for a couple of days..... as they haul all the debris away. Or They leave the debris in place, to show all the future.

Two Vendors were shot in the leg this morning.

What I understand is most Bars were rentals...... owned by a Dominican (the name on the list). Example #164 was Fast Freddie

They have torn down 33 places.

Don't be nasty...... it's a picture of his Girlfriend.
