Another Shot of the gals from Pedro McClusky's in Sosua

I just got this in email today from a friend from NY. He was walking by the new Irish Pub Pedro McClusky's and saw the gal on the Left who just happens to be one of my 4 sisters and said "do you know Scott" and she replies "of course".Just looking at these beautiful gals is a good reason to go to Pedro McCluskys in Sosua. Cold drinks, good food and beautiful women!
.
I was out with my friend Ben the other day and while taking him home I saw another friend Sam sitting out in front of his condo. I dropped Ben off who lives in the next condo complex and went to chat with Sam. Sam tells me that he was in Pedro McCluskys in Sosua and was staring at Maria the gal on the left because he couldn't figure out who she was but he knew her. Well Sam finally figured out that he knew her from her many pictures here on my blog and he was laughing about it and saying "Maria was probably wondering who the dirty old man was who kept staring at her:)"
.
While talking with Sam another friend Doug pulls over to chat and catch up. Funny thing is Doug was on his way over to pick up Ben:)
.
Ok folks, stop into Pedros for a cold one and something to eat and don't forget to say hi to the very lovely Maria for me!
.
Hasta Pronto!

I had lunch with Ben and his lovely wife today at Baileys and Ben says Doug comes into his house and says "Your other Cab Driver is here" which was of course very funny!

The song of Sosua Dominican Republic

Whoops, sorry but couldn't resist! Thanks UNK for the email:) Sometimes you get something that makes you laugh and you just have to pass it on. Most people don't come here for this but I loved it:)

Workers home on farm in Sosua

Well it isn't done but I finally got my windows in. Next week come the doors. This is a very nice place by Dominican Standards! It will have a bath and a kitchen with two ceiling fans and tinted windows with screens.
It has a concrete wrap around walkway and I will build a deck on the right side which will have a huge cistern underneath it starting next week.
.
Stay tuned more photos to come:)
Hasta Pronto!

Escotts Finca and Gardens Sosua, Dominican Republic

These are some pictures I took of the front of my mini finca up in El Choco today. I have over 300 plants parked just in the 30 foot by xxx foot front of the property already in the ground. Give this 6 months and it will absolutely amaze you with a bonanza of colors! I am taking my Gynochologist up to my favorite vivero next week to go plant shopping and I will probably buy another load of beauties along with him. This vivero (Nursary) is the nicest with the best selection in the entire country. When I was there last week I could have literally spent 50 thousand US dollars on plants but I held back and just bought 225 for the front of the finca.
.
There was a palm tree there that was about 3 hundred dollars which I never saw before and I will buy that one this week when I return. Screw money, you cant take it with you. This palm tree looked like it had leaves like a shaggy dog and man was it different. I probably have already 300 Palm trees on the farm but I want different ones and I will get them slowly starting next week.

Everyone I take to the farm is impressed by the amount that I have done since October and I am impressed myself but this time I decided to do it hard and fast and cost be damned. I spend about 25% of my life here and why not enjoy it to the max?! When my buddy was interested in the land next door to my lot the developer came to the property to explain the property lines. He said "You sure built a lot of wall for just goats" and I said "But I like my goats":) You can see how happy they are when you come to the finca and they come to where the people are to hang out with you. Heck I have one goat that thinks she is a Darn Dog. When I am in the pasture she actually heals. I walk 5 steps and so does she. It is a lot of fun hanging out here. You can see my vegatables coming up and growing! I just think this is the coolest thing in the world and love the immediate gradification I get from this. I already have fruits and veggies that I have planted in the ground in the last 3 months. .

More pictures to come. There is so much to see it is unbelieveable!

Hasta Pronto!

Pedro McClusky's Bar and Grill in Sosua

Yesterday I spent the day at this new bar and grill in Sosua from 3pm till about 11pm. Man did you see those NY Giants? They were up, they were down, my emotions were about to crash before the game ended! I wanted them to win of course but I was especially happy that they had all the post season games and extended my season this year. When they won I just couldn't believe we were going to the SuperBowl after all these years!
WOO-Hoo! This picture was not taken yesterday but a week or so ago. One of my 4 sisters works here so I frequent the place as often as I can! Got to support my sisters ya know.
.
Neither of these gals are one of my sisters who work there. She was wearing a skirt that day and wouldn't consider getting up on a bar but let me tell you she can move that bottom like there is an engine inside of it! The gals dancing are very cute and as you can see have great bodies but I luv my sisters@+!
.
The place was off the wall CRAZY with people. I saw the UGLY New Yorker sitting right in front of me and now I know why they are called that! LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS. If I wasn't such a peaceful guy I would have liked to pop him over the head with a empty bottle of beer. Who wants to waste the suds!
.
I had a great time watching football yesterday as I had many friends in town who came to the bar to watch also. They have very good bar food and yesterday I had a Blue Cheese Hamberger which tasted wonderful.
.
If you get to this place when you are in town ask for Maria and say Escott sent you. Please support my sisters!:)
.
Hasta Pronto!
