I just was wondering where everyone is originally from, and what made you first become interested in the DR? I will start, I am from a city in Central Massachusetts. I became interested in the DR after meeting my husband who was born and raised in Tenares, RD. He has just finished building a house and bought a colmado combo pool hall there. He has been there for the past 5 weeks getting the last things done on the house and is coming back next week to help me close up our apartment here. We will be officially moving there June 25th as soon as school is out here. We will be living on the road that runs all the way from Gasper Hernandez to Tenares about 3 miles before coming into the town of Tenares. I have been there 7 times and loved it but I know it will be much different actually living there. Kathy
