Is Juan Dolio a municipality, or is it directly governed by the corrupt people that run SPM?

Yes it's true.....no umbrellas and also no pic's today. Forgot it was a holiday tomorrow and the street is crazy so I'll try to do it in the morning before it becomes a zoo.
The beach is gorgeous but I've heard there are a lot of leeches in the sand and small water snakes in the water. Can't say I've seen it myself because I haven't been to the beach for more than a quick stroll since we got back but I'll do my best to post the picks on my blog wither tomorrow or Tues.

This may be a silly question, but how long are they expecting the beach and new sand to stay??

Is it something they will continually maintain, adding more sand whenever needed?

Negril's 7 mile beach in Jamaica is loosing it's beach as well. The hotels are bringing in sand but it has no real long term effect as the problem is continually getting worse. Before long the sea will be lapping up at the edge of their properties.

I'm sure he will be Sam. He's got some very good Drs. (and one excellent bruha) looking after him and is already starting to repond to treatment (even if they don't quite know exactly what's making him ill---blood cultures take time to culture).
However this one women band is being kept VERY busy (but I now know I can 'make it' down here by myself if need be!).
So give me a few more days and you'll have more pic's than imaginable to see ('course I really need to find a 'host' for them 'cause my blog account is almost full!!- any suggestions out there???)
