    Do go!

    There was something fishy about it but no one knows what. It was only open- I think less than a year and then, closed. Now there is a sign that it is owned by some co-op. But still it is in ann abandoned condition. And the coffee place next to it has a for sale sign. A strange thing also...

    Do go!

    I haven’t been to El Caffeto for years. I tend to prefer El Molino. The food is better- although was not quite as good more recently. It must depend on what day you go and who is the cook. So JD meant La Cumbre on the other road? What is the name of that place? No that I live In Jamao I never...

    Do go!

    Actually I heard the food is excellent lately. But I agree with you. When I went- many years ago- the food was no better than any place else, but at a much higher price.

    Do go!

    Yes I have been to Camp David but not For years and years…. Maybe 10-13. I have a friend who went with a new partner and she said it was even better than before. It is an adventure for the future.

    Do go!

    Can’t believe I have lived here 17 years and never went to this place before. La Catalina Restaurant. It is about 30 minutes from Puerto Plata and probably also 30 minutes from Sosua……in the middle of absolutely nowhere……except for a few huge, grand properties (hey, honey, let’s build a mansion...

    At 3:30 we had lots of lightening and heavy rains for about an hour. It is now over and quiet as can be. (Jamao)

    OK! It's my turn with the EDES

    Always something here. Just think of it as this. The challenges and solutions we find keep us young. Keep us posted JD.

    Oh, no!

    Thanks. I did the ivermectin. Almost all are gone. Just every day I see a spot or two or three in new locations and I use the Permethrin again on those spots just in case. And still we are changing sheets and towels and washing and drying in hot water. This is not for sissies.

    Cops shut down NYC Dominican Day Parade as unruly crowd swarms 6th Ave. and teen slashes 65 year-old: sources

    I will agree with you on that! My point is that people who do not know may judge all Dominicans on the behavior of those in NY. I always try to be conscious that as an ex-pat my behavior here should not be something that might - By over generalization- reflect badly on the people of my country...

    To PriceSmart Or Not To PriceSmart

    And I think when you go to your cart to check out you tell them if you want to pick up or if you want delivery. It was very easy.

    To PriceSmart Or Not To PriceSmart

    Yes! Did the order yesterday. Picked up today. Got a confirmation. And then another message telling me that the order was ready for pickup. Went. Plenty of parking spaces for pick up. Went inside. There was a man with my cart waiting for me. He took it to the car and unloaded it. Far better...

    To PriceSmart Or Not To PriceSmart

    I often think of that school supply shop, Bob. I just do not like the driving there and then finding a parking space. They said I should just make an order and they will deliver but I like to first see and price what I am buying and secondly they have no idea where I live. Maybe I just need to...

    Yep! That’s what I buy. Drove to Santiago today from Jamao (no short trip) to buy 7 more for my breakfasts next week.
