Dateline Sosua, Dominican Republic-Who's your daddy?

This picture is Danny, me and my two new baby goats that were born today.

If you notice mine has white boots and his has black boots. One time when I had the restaurant he came in and tells me that we had baby goats and one was all black and one was all white and the other was black and white. My waiter Nelson who thinks he is a comedian says that I am the father of the white one and Danny is the father of the black one and both of us probably fathered the black and white one. It was pretty funny but Danny was denying it and we were all laughing.

The next picture is Maria and I holding the two babies. I don't know why I ended up with the black booted one this time:) This is a picture of the two of them on the ground. Real cuties and the two of them are colors I haven't had on the farm and I have never seen these colors before.

.

Next one schedualed to give birth is my Sheep. Yup folks I have heard all the jokes already. Yes I keep a pair of boots in my truck!

.

I posted pictures of a baby goat born on the farm less than a month ago. He is now as big as my 6 month old goats. I will see if I have a late photot of him now with the others.

Man this is fun. I love raising goats and it is so much fun just feeding these guys you wouldn't believe it. I supplement their food with tops of Yuca which they love. Must be full of vitamins and other good stuff because they go crazy for it.

Hasta Pronto!

Moscow Circus Playing in Puerto Plata

Timing is everything. Maria asked me if I wanted to go to the circus in Puerto Plata. I told her I wasn't a kid and left it at that. She speaks to her mother and she is going to Puerto Plata for a couple of days to see her family there and I suggested that she bring Maria's son Melvin with her and we can go to the circus together. Worked out great and Melvin stayed with us for 2nights and 3 days and we all went to the circus.

Melvin is 6 now and a great kid. I bought him a want that turned many colors. Kind of looked like a weapon from the space movies. We had Cotton Candy and other junk and had a great time.

.

Little did I know that this was the first time for both Melvin and Maria to see a circus. I guess some things I just take for granted and never would have imagined.

.

I bought the best seats and we had a ringside box which was great except for the High wire act where I had to strain my neck to see it.

.

It is still playing so I recommend if you can see it that it is well worth it.

Pirates in the Dominican Republic

I don't know why but there seems to be a thing with eye problems here. I know I had two problems with my eyes getting itchy and swolen and I had to take drops for it to clear up. Man it was awful! I even went to a Doctor believe it or not because it bothered me so much.

I got a call from my numero uno sister who was in the clinic in Puerto Plata and I went to pick her up. Hell she still looks lovely. She is going to kill me for posting this one:)

The Gals of the Brittania Pub in Sosua

This is Heydi who is standing with my buddy Patrick. I captured the best shot of the two of them:) Another BEAUTY and I also got the best shot of the two of them. I hope you all are starting to get it! LOL Here is a beauty solo without my buddy Patrick who by this point probably hates me but I hate to ruin a shot of a beautiful woman:) No I want to name this shot Beautys and the beast. That is Ted in the middle the evening bartender at Brittania most nights. However I don't know why I consider myself lucky when I just have the gals in the pictures. There is also another BEAUTIFUL bartender/waitress Eva who I don't have a picture of but I will. I was there tonight but without my camera unfortunately. . 2 beers for 99 peso happy hour and a food special for 99 pesos every night. I had Pasta bolonesa tonight along with 2 Bohemias for 198 Pesos. Can't beat that with a stick and I get to look at beautiful women! Who has it better than me? . Hasta Pronto!

El Tablon in Charamicos Sosua Dominican Republic

These are pictures taken of a section of Charamicos where the Dominicans live in Sosua. They have been given apartments to move to coutesy of the government so they can clean up a neighborhood that had a lot of problems.

.

Anytime you heard of a Shooting or Drug Raid this is where it was. The police were affraid to go down there although I wasn't. No one ever bothered me when I went there. The road ended where a river met the ocean and there was a fish store there. Only problem was if you asked for Tuna you got Red Snapper. Well all the people are moved and they bulldozed it as it was happening so no squatters got there first. It was a horrible place but the people that lived there miss it and don't like the new slum that was built for them. I will go to the new place and take pictures and post them here. It is very tight and crowded albeit NEW.

.

Oh well, guess this is something that had to be done! They are going to make a dock at the end for the fishermen and a park of some sort. They also need to clean up the river because of all the polution. The Dominicans who live upstream just throw their garbage in the river and it is killing the reef but they cant help the reef till they stop the problem which here is very difficult.

Hasta Pronto!
