Hello everyone,
Returned last week from 12 days in my favorite country. Jazzcom was nice enought to pick me up at POP airport with a couple of cold presedentes and the next day the two of us drove over the mountain from Sosua to Santiago to see AZB.I dont know the name of the road we took but along the way were some of the most beautiful breathtaking views I have ever seen.AZB was a terrific host.He had a nice barbeque set up in the backyard of his beautiful house and several beautiful girls that he knows came over.Later on that night we went out to a few discos in Santiago.I was a little bit of a party pooper because I was shot from the trip but I'll tell ya..AZB really is the "King" of santiago.Sorry I couldnt hook up with you again AZB..hopefully next time.
Next day back to Sosua where I spent the rest of my viaje.Met the affable and eccentric Johnny Honda and breifly saw Eddy.I returned to Eddys bar a few times in the hopes of seeing his condos but unfortunately he was not there so I had to settle for gawking at his beautiful bartenders.
I stayed in the Europa for 6 nights and then in Rockys for the last 5 nights.The Europa was a little cozier but was 33 dollars per night(after haggling) and Marco at Rockys only charges $15 and was great value for the money.He is also a hell of a guy and probably the person I like most in sosua.One day myself and Marco went for a drive through neighboring towns "Los Charamicos" and "Sosua Abajo" which are poorer towns than sosua.The people there dont have much and seeing them live like that made me a little sad but they are not hungry...not cold and appear happy so who has it better?
Anyway..I spent most of my trip at the beach,in the restaurants and bars..and in the company of beautiful women.Here are a few comments on where to go:
Best deal for hotel: Rockys
Best deal for breakfast: Rockys
Best place to watch sports: Eddys
Best pool table:Eddys
Best place to go for a few drinks and an english speaking atmosphere: Brittania
Best Mamajuana shot: Roadside bar next to the Europa
So that is my trip report in a nutshell.I just found out my current employment may be coming to an end in a few months so in that case I plan on moving to Sosua for a 6 month "transitional period".If anyone is aware of relatively inexpensive condos for that length of time let me know.Eddy..if you read this..do me a favor and e-mail me with any specials you might be offering when you get a chance.
Adios,
Larry
