My "stylist" has left the DR, leaving behind a pack of worshiping gringos in a desperate state. She was really good. We are in search mode big time! Anywhere on the north coast will due. No road to far to travel. This is serious business as one can never underestimate the vanity of single middle...

Just read on DR1 that our new president just visited a National Police post unannounced. No biggie. BUT, the report says he arrived with a convoy of just TWO cars. If true, or even close to true, I think this symbolic act should inspire hope and applause for our new president. Why ? During...
