We’re going to begin creating a series of videos that should prove useful to a large amount of folks. It’s going to be a continuous series of what we hope will be helpful bits of information acquired over 35 plus years of living as a foreigner. By no means are we saying our way is [...]

A fair while ago I did a YouTube featuring the Dulce Vida restaurant. During that time the food was superb. As with most businesses (mine included) things tend to go along smoothly for a while and so you just coast along and do little in the way of improving things. After all why change what’s [...]
Many of you who take the time to read my posts already know I’ve said countless times that the most dangerous weapon any nation has is an ignorant citizenry. At this point anyone residing in the West and still has the slightest inkling that they’re living in a free democratic society is simply choosing to [...]
I would like to take a moment and introduce you to our latest visitor Dave. Dave recently came down and paid the DR Escapes team a visit, which I don’t think he’ll soon forget. Dave’s a colorful personality who has recently discovered there’s more to life than the big trucks, the large home and owning [...]
With the 2017 year coming to a close I wanted to take a few minutes in efforts to keep our subscribers up to date.

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been occupied with accumulating data. There are several reasons why I blog but one that ranks high on the list is being able to render accurate information.

Over the past couple of days two major undertakings occurred. First was the Catalan Referendum and second the mass shootings in Vegas. Sticking to my rule of always letting the dust settle before commenting this post will adhere. I won’t be making wild accusations only to have completely missed the mark a few days later. [...]
Every so often you just have to take a step back to gain a better view. If you’re too close to something so often the view is blurred it’s unfocused. When things no longer make sense by taking a step back you’re allowing yourself to capture the whole picture. In today’s hazy world a lot [...]
I was looking over a few pieces pertaining to the recent Trump address at the UN. All I can say is the picture posted to the left best describes my current feelings about what was said. It’s truly a sad state of affairs to see how low the level of intelligence has sunk in the [...]
At times when a person’s long held beliefs have been scrambled enough times the more inquisitive often set out on a new-found desire for learning truth. All of a sudden the What’s Why’s and Where’s take on a new role of importance. It’s become imperative to know. These personalities now want to know, belief no [...]
It’s late August 2017. I’m composing this post while the thermometer is reaching the mid 90’s. Yes it’s hot and the air is thick. At times you’d swear you could cut it with a knife. For all who dislike humidity August and September are the two most uncomfortable months in Cabrera. This especially holds true [...]
As I compose this post there’s an unpredictable conspiracy that’s reaching it’s boiling point. Should it boil over the world at least as we currently know it won’t exist. Actually there’s several conspiracies that would meet the same criteria however the one that concerns me the most is the new sanctions bill concerning Russia. By an [...]
Between our NW video tour followed by a ten day family reunion in Canada it’s nice to be back to the normal smooth pace of Cabrera. Liane and I took advantage of the off time, the summer time in Cabrera and headed up north to Timmins Ontario. Thought we’d enjoy the cooler temps while spending [...]
July 15, 2017 Since returning from our latest tour of the NW coast and neighboring inlands I finally caught up with all the necessary maintenance around the house and property. I had some extra time this morning so I reached out to my buddy to see if he was game for a coffee in town, [...]
