He did retire but is always around to answer questions. He has helped us several times recently.

Are you on the North Coast? If so you can stop at the pool place across the street from the Sosua Ocean Village Entrance. Ask the guy at the counter and if he cannot help, ask to talk to Bob Boyd. He would know.

Here is a response from someone on the front lines. And this just happened today. We have a child in our kindergarten class (pre-primaria here ) 5 year olds. His communication skills are far beyond his age. But his learning lags way behind…..maybe equal to a 3 year old although he is 5. His...

In my opinion, get rid of him. I know probably 25-30 Dominicans in and around Jamao Al Norte (with a population of about 7,000,) who paid to go to the US illegally. There are many others who try, and try again to get a visa legally and are rejected for what ever reason. In the DR there is...

Locally, in Jamao there is a struggle going on between the police and our Alcalde. There was an event planned by the Ayuntamiento for New Years Eve with music in the park. Everyone arrived, the women dressed to kill, so to speak. Five minutes after the music started the police came and...

No. Bournigal is now two hours away for me. Santiago is one hour and 15 minutes, so I always head in that direction.

I just want to give closure on this “problem” I had with scabies. After seven months of following treatment from two dermatologists, I decided to go to a third. (The first two prescribed Permetrina, oxina de zinc, and hydrocortisone cream.) I also took ivermectin. I found what was called a skin...

I am not at all involved in this sort of thing, but I do know that there is some “doctor” on the North Coast who can provide prescriptions for a price. He has an agreement with a pharmacy. I know of this man from friends. I do not know his name. But you know anything is possible here if you...

It seams I aired en mi use of the wird. Or was it spling?

Ok. You caught the English teacher in a misspelled word! Hearsay is what is correct. Both hearsay and rumor are examples of third party information passed from person to person. Hearsay and gossip are synonymous.

And tonight (perhaps only tonight) I will say it is nice to be old and not need the hoopla of New Years. For me at this point every day is like a New Year and worth celebrating.

My gardener told me that when he was coming back to Palo Amarillo from Sosua today he saw a horrible accident at the new traffic light at La Cienega. He said two people were crossing the street when a car ran the red light at a high speed and killed them. This is heresy. I did not see it. But...

The reports from Haiti keep getting crazier. What’s next?

Am turning Dominican. 🫤 This year I waited until the last minute. I had heard that I could get the marbete in Jamao, so I assumed it would be a piece of cake. I sent our school bus driver. He was waited on immediately. But the computer system was waaaaaaay backed up. And two hours later he...

There is a Facebook group of Dominicans in Texas. Check it out.

Her building was one story, if I remember correctly, and looking at the photo above it would be on the left. You cannot see it.

So sad in many levels. Condolences to her family and co-workers, who although were not hurt or did not die in the disaster, are also victims.

Thanks for answering a question! Well now, I lived in Pittsburgh and ate at steak houses often. Never heard of that!

But I live in small town that love chismes. The moment I talk to the local police half the people in Jamao will know who ruined their “fun.” I always do my best to be- with them- a non controversial, bland person. I keep my opinions to myself and if I find something so objectionable that I...

But please Dario Libre- get your facts right. Lisa Ewest was not inside.
