Red face what do you love about d.r... ??????

me i lov many things about here. the fencing is a big part of my love. too bad im so old i get get a u know what by looking at a beautiful metal fence and /or gate combination. most are perfectly built and installed. it is usually a one time investment and you want it different better than your neighbors... mosy are different and some are most striking... i am wondered , where did this come from??? elaborate fencing beautiful designs and mostly kept well. hard to find a pair of houses with the same design unless its family. you can tell daddy paid ... separate houses but together... back in n.y. it is only estates and multys who do this long islands gold coast... n.y.c. where a gate fence is built to different standards...
sometimes drivin around you see some beautiful wood fences but not often. and it reminds me gives me ideas etc... there evan is an estate (small) that has razor wire at the top and it looks good. brand new shiny looks like stainless steel... kind of glistens in the rain...

Wink punta rucia

this is by far the best beach i have been to ... also has the least tourists. its also the hardest to get to. as the road is terrible. the restaurants are local and cheap. the cove is protected and has a gradual slope. sand is ok and plenty of trees. a wonderful day at the beach. two ways in, both bad... best advice stay there for two days one night very reasonable new small hotels springing up...

Wink well... its the breezes ,

more about the latitude later... I had lunch at my new landlords house today and while enjoying the food I looked at where we were. In a large room on the side of the house built with open aired decorative blocks. Plenty of light, and breezes. I said to myself, this is a piece of heaven. It is in a quiet section and with no radio a delight. EVERYONE LOVES A BREEZE

Default weekend starts saturday afternoon.

Traffic is diminished. less than half. I always like it car or bike.. im a city rider because i live here. sunday is the #1 day to run around. Sunday traffic is about 30%. of course certain crossroads are trouble voming in from the beach etc...The back roads are alot less crowded and a blast to run.

for me, its the friendliness of the dominicans and of course the dancing. i love that whenever we have time we will go out and drink a Presidente and dance merengue, bachata, or whatever is being played!
AND i love riding on the scooters (when it isnt raining, lol). If your in a vehicle your stuck when theres traffic, but riding one of those, you'll always find a way around it!
