It’s been awhile since I’ve had time to post a few blogs. With so much going on at times I feel as busy as a one armed wallpaper hanger but that’s a good thing. I recently was forwarded a 20 minute speech by a fellow named Larken Rose. For those not familiar with him I’d [...]
Since arriving to Barahona we noticed that the clock’s ticking and it’s already half past four. Since our stopping point for the night was still over an hour away and we did want to have a little down time with a bottle of good rum, we decided it was best to take a quick ride [...]
As we continue on with our SW journey and after a long three hour drive with nothing special to see we finally pull into the gateway town of Barahona. It’s been 12 years since Alduino has been there so I was particularly interested in hearing what he had to say regarding the changes and the [...]
Well summer’s here and boy the heat’s kicked in. A few days ago I received a call from our partner in the Montana Y Mar project. We’re breaking down the last ridge to expose the view and he suggested I come on down and lend a bit of assistance. While there I thought this is [...]
Continuing on with day one of our excursion we pull into a small town named Rancho Arriba. A quaint clean little town but nothing really out of the norm except for coffee growing everywhere. As a driver I have to admit over the past decade the roads in this country have really taken a turn [...]
On our second video as we continue on our SW adventure. Johnny, Alduino and I carry on further heading onto what is one of the highest production areas of coffee in the country. Both domestic and export productions are carried out in this region. By world ranking the DR is 27th compared to Brazil which [...]
When three good friends take off on a four day excursion it’s almost guaranteed the good time will roll. That’s exactly what happened when my buddies Alduino and Johnny joined me on what turned out to be over 1000 KM’s of travel in four short days. If you’re up for it why not strap yourself [...]
Anyone who’s ever muttered the phrase “where’s the beach” should have no trouble enjoying this final video in the series. The unspoiled natural beauty even had me set back in awe and coming from a person who’s been in more than 100 countries that really says something. The geographical layout is nothing short of postcard [...]
Hop back in and let’s move on. After enjoying a great lunch we continue onto one of the nicest and most secluded beaches seen to date. We venture to a beach named Playa Moron. The word moron is not often used but means a hump or a mound in English. Enjoy the ride as we [...]
This add-on goes out to those with open eyes. About a week after I began posting about how devastating it was that the US pulled out of the Iran deal look what’s already transpired. I’ve pasted a paragraph from my most recent post. It’s almost 100% predictable and no I’m not going to say I [...]
Continuing on I pick up my partner where yet again he was visiting friends located in the middle of nowhere. Honestly I don’t know of another soul who knows more people in the most out of the way places than my partner Johnny. We continue out towards El Limón, a well-known tourist town because of [...]
After what’s recently occurred, by abandoning the Iran deal already some of America’s strongest allies are beginning to ask some tough questions. The EU is now asking several direct questions concerning the loyalty of what was thought of as a set in stone relationship. What have I always said about history having a funny way [...]
It seemed like another typical day starting off by sipping on an early morning coffee when the phone rang. It was Johnny calling. He was reminding me about an appointment in Nagua we had to attend late in the afternoon, again nothing out of the normal mundane and then suddenly he stated I’m out in [...]
Well it’s Labor Day long weekend in the Dominican Republic. A happy Dominican Labor Day goes out to everyone who’s watching. I headed out to Loma Alta and thought I’d check out what’s happening in the developments. On my way out I ran into dozens of folks on horseback. These were fine horses well trained [...]
