September 8 2018 Sanctions in a modern world I don’t know maybe it’s just me but lately it seems like the West wants to sanction the planet. Venezuela and Argentina are just two of many examples that flash to mind. While sanctions on smaller countries may still prove to be effective its effects on superpower [...]
Life through the eyes of a Centenarian I’m at the ripe middle age of 61 and still I connect with my mom every day. Whether it’s a quick email or a message even a call we somehow manage to link on a daily basis. For some this might sound a bit strange coming from someone [...]
Continuing on our trip through the mountains we pass through the one horse town of Orma. Still over three hours away from Constanza we begin to hit some lower lying clouds. Enjoy some of the views as Johnny and Alduino discuss the various plantations, the fruits and vegetables grown in the cooler temps. As Johnny [...]
August 2018 2018 What a 20 Trillion dollar debt looks like. Because of our devalued currencies over the past decade some terms kind of changed a bit. For example what used to be Billion has now become Trillion. No big deal right? It’s a close enough replacement in fact the word even rhymes. Before continuing [...]
Leaving San Jose de Acoa we approach the beginning of what will be in excess of four hours of backroads eventually arriving to Constanza. Ride along while Johnny and Alduino catch up on the events of last night in Barahona. We lucked out on a weekend, finding a triple room including dinner and breakfast the [...]
Welcome back to day three of our four day venture. By the time we departed Rancho Tipico de Las Aguilas we didn’t arrive into Barahona till past 6:00 P.M. Two full days have caught up with us, so we decided to spend the night in Barahona. We were lucky to find a place for whatever [...]
After enjoying an excellent lunch we realized that the hours are fast ticking away and we still needed to cover a fair amount of ground before the end of the day. We took the old beach road and while filming the natural beauty began discussing the changes since last being there. One major option that [...]
After a long drive we finally arrive at our next stop along the way. It’s a place where I’ve visited two prior times called Rancho Tipico Cueva de las Aguillas or Typical Ranch Cave of the Eagles in English. In fact my last time here Johnny was with me and because of its natural beauty [...]
Recently I had the opportunity to spend a week with Juan and his family. Juan and I first met about five years ago when unannounced he happened to be in Cabrera and initiated an invite to meet in person. Apparently Juan’s been following our blog for several years and always wanted to bring his family [...]
We met Joe and Maggie almost nine years ago. In fact it was Johnny who introduced us to begin with. Several year’s prior they both left Cabrera to pursue business options State side and eventually a percentage of these options blossomed. Turns out they’ve built an elegant second home in Cabrera. After quite a long [...]
Continuing further into our excursion while enjoying one of the most beautiful scenes on the SW coast I made an innocent comment about how much I enjoyed my Alduino Maduro cigar last night. Soon after Alduino being a professional in the business began to explain the different wrappers being used on his most popular sellers. [...]
As we continue our venture for our growing number of Spanish speaking subscribers we decided to do this video entirely in Spanish so… así que este video es para ti. Johnny and Alduino discuss how much natural beauty they’ve seen so far, but for the here and now this highway by the sea has them [...]
Last night ended late with an incredible Italian meal prepared by the owner of the hotel. Actually Johnny made a comment it was the best bolognesa sauce he had ever tasted. Since Johnny’s travelled all around Europe that say’s something. Of course we ended the night by swapping stories while consuming a large bottle of [...]
I want to take a moment and introduce you to a property we recently allocated. It’s over 8 ¾ acres and located 32km (20 miles) from downtown Cabrera and 15km (9.3 miles) from Rio San Juan. It’s a very quiet area located near Gaspar Hernandez, just a jaunt off of Hwy 5. The property features [...]
