We spent yesterday in Santo Domingo, dropped dog at vet for spaying, then went our separate ways. I went to spend the day with an old girlfriend from NYC [GREAT lunch at Il Giardino Restaurant, front of El Embajador Hotel], and Mr. AE went to the big agro fair at the Feria Ganadera on the Malecon.
One of the companies with an exhibit there is selling their La Tambora Cafe, so Mr. AE bought 3 bags of roasted beans. Tried them this morning, and it is GOOD coffee. They come from Bani, we'll be going back to the fair to buy some more. Not sure if it's available in stores??????? Good price too, one pound was 200 pesos, a pound of Cafe Santo Domingo or Monte Alto is now 249 pesos in SD supermarkets.
I also got to meet BigBird yesterday, super nice guy, glad he decided to stay in SD and not abandon DR.
