Hello all.  I have learned about a new chocolate maker in Santo Domingo and wondered if anyone has tried them yet.  I discovered him on Facebook and unable to make a trip in the near future.  It looks like a very small operation (sort of what I do in the US) and really wondered if anyone has any...

I wondered if anyone has experienced this and if anyone has heard of this happening in other countries. We had a good friend of the family die in NYC and was sent back to the DR for burial. When they put her in the ground they took a hammer to the casket and broke it so thieves do not return...

Fellow DR1ers, Tomorrow I will have been married to Marisol from Jaya, San Francisco de Macoris for 24 years. We have 2 boys, 23 and 9. No, the 23 year old was born 11 months after we got married. I really got lucky when I saw this pretty, cinnamon colored young women on Caribe Tours eating...

If anyone is interested, the World Cocoa Foundation is having a conference in Santo Domingo on 15th and 16th of October. The cost is US$750 to register so it is not for hobbyists. I hope to attend and if anyone on the board is interested in cacao and chocolate, feel free to contact me...

I visited this women's cooperative last summer and they have come along way since. I wondered if any of you in Santiago or on the North Coast have seen any of their products being sold? They make it from the bean and get the cacao from a cooperative in their community. They also make a...

A few years back someone posted about getting fine eating chocolate in the DR. Over the last few years I have been learning a great deal about cacao and chocolate and making micro batches at home with Dominican cacao. Over this time I have been accustomed, or addicted to eating (tasting)...

Felt like sharing and still trying to get to 500. Can’t post bs. Anyway, the mother-in-law arrived after 6 months holed up in the campo near SFM. The clean air, daily walks and fresh food do her well for a person of 80+ years (you know Dominican women never tell their age). We had 10 of her...

I have worked a few decades in many different public high schools in NYC and thousands of Dominican students. Every school I have been in there has been from a vast majority of Dominican born/family to a small contingent. I can not tell you how many times a distant cousin of my wife or some...

I happened to be in Dajabon this last Friday and woke up early [4:30], went for an hour run and was almost attacked by a dog. Anyway, up returning to the border area I spent the next hour and a half watching probably 1000 Haitians walking through the river to get to the Dominican side before...

Curious to know if anyone has eaten here and what they thought of the place.

This is a nice article about one of my sister-in-laws from the Listen Dario. It is in Spanish, but explains how she left the campo at 15 and went to high school in Washington Heights. She later became a principal in the same school and is currently superintendent of high schools in Queens, New...
