Contact Chester4 on DR1. Just set up a residents club here and we had a traditional English Roast last night with 30-40 people.DogsRule said:Now that my husband and I have finally made the permanent move here, we're interested in meeting other expats in the POP area if there are any, or all you all in Sosua, Cabarete, Santiago and Santo Domingo?
No, I certainly did not expect non-stop rain, but coming from Ohio, I will trade snow for rain any day of the week! If it ever stops raining, perhaps we'll meander down to the Malecon and try to find the Long Beach strip.Gringo said:The Expats myself included are here in Pto.Pta. because we are not prepared to pay the Tourist prices of Sousa and Cabarete........As far as Santiago and Santo Domingo go I left the cold north to escape the big over populated Cities with there pollution and noise.
You will meet some of the local Expats in Pto.Pta. if you venture into town and vist Sam's Bar & Grill
Also there are allmost allways Gringo's in the Long Beach strip of the Malecon stopping for a Presidente and a chat.
PS: Wecome to Paradise, Ill bet you did not think it rained here every day did you?
Good Luck
Gringo

Asks her when the next dinner is. Easter I have a big party in Sosua with about 150 people and you are welcome to come.
Conchman said:There are many expats in Cofresi, 4 miles west of Puerto Plata. What area in POP are you?
Here are mostly Canadians, Austrians, Germans, and Americans.
Costambar which is inbetween POP and Cofresi also has many expats.
There are a few restaurants in Cofresi frequented by expats, like Chris and Mady's, Captain Cooks, and the new BBQ restaurant run by some Canadian BBQ guru together with EMI Sun Village Resort, don't know the name though.
A bunch of us are going to "MIRO" on the beach in Cabarete to listen to Jazz. Roberto and a few of the regulars at the now Closed Village Jazz Club will be there along with 20 musicians from NY. Should be a hoot. We are going to Caravan from Rockys in Sosua at 9pm tonight if you or anyone else want to join us.DogsRule said:Great! I know one other couple in Sosua or thereabouts. I had a couple friends out that way but they had to move back to the states, so now we really don't know any "Americans" here. I have some great Dominican friends but I do get homesick for a little taste of Stateside and a game of Euchre now and then.
Thanks, Escott. Maybe another time; I already have plans for tonight.Escott said:A bunch of us are going to "MIRO" on the beach in Cabarete to listen to Jazz.
