Colombian with a little bit of Venezuela, Chile, and Germany (Berlin), and a lot of Florida (too many places to mention), Atlanta, NY, Brooklyn, and Jersey landing in a tiny spot in the Caribbean called Las Galeras (Samaná). First visited Punta Cana (PC) 30+ years ago (when most of us thought it was a country). Much of the laid back vibe (that I remember) is different (visited last year). Heck! Let's toast to "modernity", it was bound to arrive. Las Galeras is home when I'm not on the road (which happens frequently). A superb resting hole, and far enough away from PC so that by the time "modernity" arrives I'll be long gone.
