    Fisherman's Village update - Las Terrenas

    When the government removed the old buildings on Playa Grande in Las Galeras, they offered all the spaces to former tenants who are locals. Seems like it is an unofficial forever lease where they pay no rent, only utilities. Maybe they are doing something similar in Las Terrenas, letting them...

    Tricks to make the emblematic Habichuelas con Dulce

    Have several bowls of it after it has been sitting out at room temperature for about 8 hours, and you will be all ready for your colonoscopy the next day.

    Fisherman's Village update - Las Terrenas

    I am not sure where you mean. We came in from the El Limón side, and drove all the way past Playa Colibri. I hope that helps.

    Fisherman's Village update - Las Terrenas

    I was there about two weeks ago. It looks pretty much finished. Instead of one long building, they separated them into sections. They also have several fire hydrants in between the buildings. They widened the road so the traffic flows better there. Looked good but I just drove by quickly.

    JetSet Club investigations underway

    That is a common problem where they don’t pull up the rebar into the concrete when pouring. I cringe when I see the rebar rusting through the 1/4 inch of panete or if there is no finish coat on the ceiling you could plainly see the rebar sticking through the concrete. Same thing with the...

    Alternative to lead acid inverter batteries

    I am very happy so far with my WECO LiPo batteries. I only have them 2 years so there is not much to report yet. The great thing about them is that it has an app so that I can monitor them when I am out of the country.

    New Proposed Monte Cristi Int'l Airport

    It would be better if they allocated about $10,000 to fix all the leaking water pipes in Samana before spending billions on a new airport.

    Dominican Republic Hit With 10% Tariff Today By US

    Specifically, it’s not the Silverado, which is around $55,000. It’s the Silverado ZR2 which has a 3 inch lift kit from the factory and 35 inch tires with other off-road features. It is $76,000 USD here in the DR, which is about the same price that it is in the US. That I did not understand. I...

    Dominican Republic Hit With 10% Tariff Today By US

    I had been shopping for a full size F150 for two years. They are not available here, only the smaller Ranger and Ranger Raptor. Any that you see on the street came from another country. I contacted several different channels at Ford and nobody was able to give me an answer as to why. I...

    Recklessness fills highways with tragedy

    From Las Galeras to Samana on an average day, I see about 10 guys popping wheelies for at least 1000 feet. Sometimes with passengers. People pass other vehicles on blind turns. There is no regard for personal safely or human life among some people.

    SDQ TSA stealing coffee ?

    There is a limit to how much ground coffee you can take with you. Buy the whole bean and grind it fresh every day. You’ll get a better cup of coffee and you can be assured that you are not getting stuff that is swept up off the floor and mixed in with your ground coffee
