Back on the Farm in Sosua Dominican Republic

Nope, work has not stopped at the finca. We keep marching on. What you are looking at is a cistern which is used to store water. Although we have community water at the finca the pumps are not running all the time and not even every day. Rules state that you need a minimum of 10000 Gallon storage of water and that is what we are digging at this time. If you don't know how much water 10000 gallons is I have a friend with a 6000 gallon pool. The first 12 or so inches is Black earth which is great for growing plants, fruits and veggies. The white stuff is soft stone when compacted is almost as hard as concrete and makes a great base for roads and driveways. Since I am taking this all out of the ground and will replace it with water I am using the materiel for road bed along with all the rock I took out when planting my veggies and fruits. the stuff on the right is easy to dig up. The stuff on the left is way more difficult. It comes out with a Pic Axe and Shovel. It is less expensive to use Haitian Labor than to pay for the diesel in a Excavator believe it or not but just not as fast. Things take a long time to get done here because of this. This is going to be the entrance to the farm. I have frontage on the principle road but kept that all flowers and stone walls. Didn't want to ruin the beauty with a road going down the middle.

.

BTW my servants quarters/storage building is complete. Doors and windows are in and the only thing left are the tile ridges on the roof but all the roof tiles are in. .

I have a TON of veggies almost ready now. Many different tomatoes, Yuca, Batata, melons, Passion fruit Chinola, cucumbers, squash, aloe, carrots, Noni and much much more!!! Looking good, looking good!

.

I think the new finca is actually more impressive than the old one. I like it a whole lot more and so do the animals. I am pretty sure I have two pregnant goats and a pregnant sheep also. Have I mentioned that I love kids:) The ones I have are growing every day and looking great!

.

I had to tie up the black female when I take her out of the pasture because she attempted to eat all my Yuca on her own. The other two babies are now restricted to the pasture for the same reasons. They love my Yuca and so do I:)

.

The comments have been picking up but I would love to hear more from you all. Tell me what you think and if you have any recommendations I would love to hear them.

Superbowl Sunday on the North Coast in Sosua, Dominican Republic

Say Hi to a friend of mine Jeff. Jeff is from Boston where he and his family own a few furniture stores. We have a lot in comon because I use to own a bunch of furniture stores.

.

Jeff walks into Pedro McMurphy's where I am sitting to watch the Superbowl. I had a reserved table which was the best seat in the house. Jeff sits down next to this beautiful woman and thinks he stepped in the Preverbial "Shit". Little did he know that she was one of the owners girlfriends who was sitting with us. Poor Jeff, you had to see his face when I told him:) Deflation happened immediately when he realized that he was just going to have a great game to watch and no after game activities with this beauty! LOL First wrong thing Jeff did was to wear a Patriot T-shirt at this Superbowl Party. He got razed as soon as he walked in the door. POOR SOB thought he had this game and it was already over. If I could bundle his looks thoughout the game and his disappointment at the greatest upset of Superbowl history it would have been my pleasure. Even if the Giants had lost the game it would have gone down as one of the best games I have ever seen! See the guy taking the picture, his name is Tony and he is one of the owners of Pedro McMurphy's and the boyfriend and Heartbreaker of Jeff! LOL I always like taking pictures of the picture takers. He was trying to record the full house that they had. Standing room only but what do you expect when you have cold beer, 4 tv's, good food and of course beautiful women working there! This is one of the sisters who came to watch the game with me. She left me to go and watch the Caribbean Baseball Series instead of the Superbowl with me. Her team won that night and she was almost as happy as I was when the Giants fooled the world. This is Soleni one of the beauties that work in Pedro McMurphy's. She is NOT a sister of course but is beautiful and sweet as all the employees are! Just another reason to visit Pedros and say hi to the gals! Of course the sister hams it up for the camera. Actually all Dominican women love getting their photos taken. Try that in the US and you will probably end up with your camera broken and arrested:) I love this place and the attitudes of the women. Open and friendly with great smiles always and man you got to see them dance. You will be standing with your eyes bulging and your tongue down to the floor! . We all had a great time at Pedros, the place was ROCKING all night and the GIANTS won. Poor Jeff. Lost the game and the woman and his dog will never return~! Jejejejeje . Friday I have Eduardo coming to town along with two high school buddies of mine who I have remained friends with. Both are attorneys and one is with one of the most prestiges ones in NYC. . The other is a practitioner in New Haven and does mostly deals and closing for one of the major banks. . The one that works in NY is a bit up tight and I cant even tell lawyer jokes around him. Man that limits my flow:) The other you can't phase if you hit him with a taser. . I am anxiously waiting their take on the Dominican Republic. Frankly I have no idea what it will be but I am very much looking forward to them coming on Friday. . Thursday my buddy Earl is coming down from NY also. This will be a tough Juggling act with everyone in town at the same time. If I still had the restaurant I would just put them all at the same table and enjoy the hell out of every one of them but I don't miss the restaurant. . Hasta Pronto!

Bens and Marjorie's Property in Sosua

Ben and Marjorie are a couple of very nice people that I don't spend enough time with. Every time I see them I enjoy myself and of course learn something I didn't know before. They have property nearby my new finca and I have been working on cleaning it up. I have had 4 Haitians working there for nearly two weeks now and it is starting to take shape.

.

Most people just slash the overgrowth down but in 3 weeks it is back to haunt you. I dig the crap out by the roots which is time consuming and way more expensive but this lasts a heck of a lot longer and I am talking in terms of years not weeks.

After we dig up what we don't want and keep what we do want we burn the digging off. The burn pile is also becoming a fertilizer pile and everytime I have planted in a burn pile I get supersized stuff out of it.

.

This is what you call Multi tasking:)

My Farm in Sosua Dominican Republic

Did you say tomato? I have 4 different varieties. All that rain we had did wonders for the Tomatoes. Seems as if they just sucked up the water and blew up. I will have more tomatoes than I can eat also. Perhaps I will have a small farm stand on the property I own on the Highway. Sell fruits, vegatables and plants. I have quite a stock building up now!!

I have Tomatoes for Salads and tomatoes to make sauce out of. Whooo Hooo! Man I love this stuff! I have many vines of Passion Fruit growing now also. Chinola is the name of the fruit. I also have a large fruit tree in fruit called Carmito. Don't know what it tastes like yet. Had one tree at the other property but never got fruit. Give me a few weeks and I will soon know. Growing stuff is so easy on the new property. Prices of food went up around Christmas time and never retreated. They said it was the storm that did it but it is just high prices I think. Good for me now that I have so much growing!! Now for the first time I can see making a living as a farmer. Before I couldn't but this property is so bountiful that I believe it would pay. What more can you ask for in life? Doing something you both enjoy and can be profitable. I even believe I can make money raising Goats and Sheep. My girlfriend is reading over my shoulder and answered the first question "SEXO". Funny but true.

My Farm in Sosua Dominican Repbulic

OK folks the Farm is progressing. Not only beautiful flowers but great fruits and Veggies! Just look below at the rows of Yuca and inbetween look at my Plantano and Bananas. This dirt is fabulous! Way better than my other finca.s I have so much growing now it is unbelievable. My first harvest of Yuca is going to be HUGE and I will probably sell a lot because it would be impossible to eat it all. Yuca you eat the root and the tops get planted back in the ground for more Yuca. The leaves are eaten by the goats and sheep and rich in vitamins and minerals. That is why the one goat I ate was so delicious.

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:)

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!

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!:)

Sosua Dominican Republic Finca

These are just some of the 220 new plantings I did at my finca in the last 2 days. I went up to Abreu which is near Cabrera on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic to the best Vivero called Cafe Flor and bought a truckload of plants to plant just at the front of my property on the main road. I will take more pictures tomorrow and post them but this entrance to my property is looking real sweet now. I have had neighbors stop to look and neighbors tell me how nice it is coming which is nice considering that Haciendas El Choco the most exclusive upscale gated community in Sosua and probably one of the nicest in the entire Caribbean. There are Helicopters landing here often and I have only been there since October. This is only a group of 5 plants out of 22o that I just planted in the last 2 days. I had over 100 already planted before I purchased these. I grouped them in bunches so when you see the flowers they are eye stoppers. There are so many planted here already I believe in 6 months the front of the property will be quite the showplace. . I will post more pictures tomorrow and also pictures of the small house I built there. Windows are coming this week and doors next week and I should be finished some time next week with the small house. Took long enough with all the rain! I thought I would NEVER get the small house done. . Hasta Pronto!

New plantings

These are plants I just transplanted from the front of my farm which is located in Haciendas El Choco in Sosua. They were real crowded and took up too much of my front so I moved them around on a couple of walls where they look better and I can plant many more flowering plants in the front. These stone walls are pastures for my animals and topped with barbed wire to keep the kids inside and not wondering.

.

More pictures to come!

Kids feel at home in New Finca

For those new to my blog these are pictures of my new finca located in the gated community of "Haciendas El Choco" in Sosua, Dominican Republic.

.

Below you will see some of my animals in their new Pasture. I stone walled it in and put barbed wire on top to keep them inside. If they ever got out and roamed the neighborhood my neighbors would hate me. Goats eat everything and the sheep would be almost impossible to catch and return here as they are very skiddish although getting a bit more comfortable with having people around them more now.

These are a few of my kids with their mother. I love having the kids here! They are always a whole lot of fun to watch. Soon I will always have kids around as I now have 5 females goats and one sheep and hopefully will add two more female sheep today. This guy above is my new boy sheep. A handsome looking lad he is. I hope he reproduces equal to himself! He has an interest in the goats in season for some reason but don't think the other guys are going to let him in their henhouse:) More of my goats above and they are doing just great here on the new finca. They are growing much faster and really seem to be enjoying their lives here. . Hasta Pronto!

First new build on Finca

This is the first construction on my new finca. It is plumbed for a kitchen and a bath but will be used for storage for now until I get the next construction up. I needed to finish a building quicker than the bigger one and decided to do this one first because it is smaller and quicker. The fellow in this picture is a laborer just doing the primer inside.

The next picture is of the same home with Daniel in the picture who has worked for me for years first in the other finca which I sold. Since I moved the animals over Daniel has been working here which has been a great help. He is very knowledgeable and a good guy. Hopefully the windows and door will be installed next week. I paid for them yesterday. I am getting Bronze color frames and glass tinted bronze also. There will be a grid pattern in the windows and screens in all.

.

Doors will be brown as well. Havent picked out the paint colors yet but will do this Monday. Woo hoo finally getting completion.

.

Hasta Pronto!

Property Update

Well no pictures at this moment but the property is coming along great. I have my 4 Haitians working again now after their Holiday Vacation and my Gardener from my other finca is now here also since we moved the animals over before Christmas.

.

I found out that I had purchased about 1200 m2 more than I thought I had. There was some sort of land swap between the developer and the landowner before me I wasn't aware of and when my buddy Herbert was negotiating on the property next to mine I found out about it from the developer who owns half the lot that Herbert was interested in.

.

Since I had already fenced in the property I thought was mine I then fenced in the additional property and will purchase a couple of cows now to put there. I am also planting a special grass that grows amazingly. 4 inches a day. The cows I will be buying will be about 150 pounds each but when they get bigger they may consume as much as 60 pounds of feed a day which is impossible on 1200 m2 of land.

.

I now move the goats out of the pasture during the day to graze and mow my other grass. For the first hour or two they eat non stop and then lay down. I don't bother taking the Sheep out because they are freaky deaky and you cant grab ahold of them. Perhaps that will change when the sheep has babies because I plan on handling the children so she will probably have to warm up by then.

.

I am going to buy 2 more female sheep this week hopefully. I have one boy and don't need more so this works great for me. I would also like to purchase more female goats. I have two baby gals now so in a year they will be reproducing also. I have 3 females reproducing now and in a year 5 but I want more! When I have 10 female goats combined with 3 female sheep I will always have babies on the way or happening.

.

The prices of vegetables have gone through the roof. First becaus of Navidad and then because of the storms. This is also good for me. I have so much planted now it is unbelievable. I have 3 varieties of Tomatos, over 5000 Yuca plants, corn, beans, squash, melons, eggplant, sweet potato, chinola, toyota, cucumber, carrots, onions, oranges both sweet and juice, Limon, avocado, Mango, Cherries, Cashew, Juan Duli, Ocra, Spices, Aloe, limoncillo, Mallonnon , Grapefruit and more.

.

Perhaps I will sell off some stuff in a few months. Even I can't eat 5000 yuca planted at the same time.

.

Today and yesterday we cleaned up the front of the property. Took down the barbed wire moved all the plantings to the back of the property and so far planted an additional 95 plants for color and still not finished! It looks awesome and even the security guards are commenting.

.

Hasta Pronto!

This is the road my new finca is located on. As a matter of fact I am just out of eyesight on the left side of the road. The trees that have the red flowers are called Flamboyan. Makes for a beautiful entrance to the finca!

To the right you can get a small look at the tennis courts of the community. There is also free Horseback Riding for the owners at the stables on the property.

.

This place was originally set up as a place for Gentlemen Farmers which is the class I belong in. It actually turned into a place for Mansions instead which is ok with me. When I thought I wouldn't exactly fit in I learned that I am the type of person this was meant for:)

Happy New Year

This is a picture of what my new Finca looked like when I purchased it. The three plants you see in front of the fence were the first 3 I planted way back on Oct. 6th.

.

I sent this to my buddy Herbert who is/was interested in purchasing the finca next door to my property to show him it wasn't all groomed as it is now when I bought it. I haven't posted in the blog for about a month because there was a problem uploading pictures and was about to give up on the blog but alas it is back to working now!

.

More to come shortly now that I can put my pictures up! I have a small building up and Roof tiles being installed now. Don't know when it will get finished with all the rain we are having now but hopefully we will catch a break and I will get done.

Roof to be poured and finished by Wednesday...

The hole between where the stone walls meet is where my new barn goes. The first stage of the Wall building is over and the whole front 2/3rds of the property has stone walls.

I was going to build the barn first and then my home but the problem is that I need to vacate the land that I sold and move my equipment and animals over to the new place and the barn would have taken 3 months to complete which would have caused big problems for me as I needed to be out of there 3 days ago:(

.

The new owners are nice and have permitted me to stay longer thank goodness because I couldn't get it together fast enough for the time period I contracted for when I sold the other finca.

So I decided to build another building first which is pictured below. I am going to use it for storage to begin with and then turn it into servants quarters after. I already rough plumbed it for kitchen and bathroom and will put two ceiling fans in it. It will be a generous sized Dominican type home at some point in the future.

I found on my cellular phone a picture of the property when I first bought it which I posted below. I planted some cuttings the second day just for kicks and giggles. Now it is all cleared of weeds and crap growth and is looking great in a very short period of time. .

I have already planted about 10,000 pieces of either Flowering somethingsorothers, Fruit trees, vegetables and everything I can find to throw in the ground. I buy truckloads of stuff and have my 4 Haitians plant it.

Today was a 1/2 day for my 4 Hatian workers but we put in a French drain where my driveway is going to be using large stone and then smaller stones so the water will run off the property when we next have heavy rains instead of my driveway getting crappy with trucks trying to push through the mud. I had a great assembly line going with two wheelbarrows and two people digging the trench. Wheelbarrows took dirt away and picked up rocks out of my flower and vegetable beds and brought them back to put in the drain. Worked great and for what turned out to be 600 pesos I got it done this morning!

.

I have an accepted offer on my 2nd condo in El Neptuno and although no money has passed into my hands yet I am pretty confident it will go through next month.

.

I will start building the home on this property if it does in fact close like we have discussed and I should be able to get the home blocked up and enclosed (windows and doors included) with that money.

New Stone Walls

My New Stone Walls

These are more pictures of my new farm in Cabarete Dominican Republic

I am going to put a garden around the new finca with the goats in the middle surrounded by Stone Walls and either 1 or 2 strands of Barbed Wire to prevent them from getting into the gardens and completely destroying them since they eat everything! Imagine 30 feet border of plants-fruits-vegetables surrounding a 1+ acre pasture for my goats and that is what it will look like!

I am looking to make a beautiful property to enjoy and since this is my second mini farm I know how to do it right and it will be a lot better than my first one becuase of the education I got from doing the first one:) This stone wall is 1 meter high but will have 1 or 2 strands of barbed wired on the top of it to keep the goats in! Yeah if you were going to ask it is freaking expensive to build that bad boy but I am biting the bullet and doing this project right from start to finish to the best of my ability:) I like these stone walls so much I plan on using them in different heights to make pretty the property other than the pasture for the goats and sheep! ------------------------------------------------- Hasta Pronto!

The New Finca-A work in Progress!

I have had 4 Haitians working for the last four days and you can see one in the foreground wheeling a wheelbarrow full of weeds away! In the lower part you see cuttings that I planted already on the property!

---------------------------------------

Today I planted even more and I also planted my first Yuca on the property! Yuca takes 8 months to grow before you can eat it and I plan on planting every week so I will always have Yuca for both myself and my friends to eat as well as the people that work for me!

Tomorrow I will plant Banana and Plantains Below you will see what it looked like before the Haitians started working and what they have done so far or partially what they have done! I enjoy working with Haitians as they are good and hard workers! That is what they come for and that is what they do and do it well! This was the property when I bought it! Overgrown with weeds and bushes that were for the most part junk although I do have many fruit and palm trees along with some humongus shade trees! My goats will be living large here in the next 2-3 months:)

-----------------------------------------------------------

I am going to work these 4 guys until I have the whole 13540 m2 cleaned up and the border of the property completely cleared for 10 meters to plant fruit trees-vegetables and every flowering shrub and tree I can find in the country! That was what I did on my other property and I enjoyed every second of it and plan on enjoying this even more!

Almost a moma!

This is Goat the Matriarch of Finca De Escott in Cabarete Dominican Republic who as you can see is pregnant again and looks like she is going to have at least 3 new kids for us in the next month or so! So far she has only had boys and I am hoping for at least one girl this time! I have three of her sons here on the property and want to have a change of luck this time!:) My Gardener Daniel thinks she is only capable of making boys but that doesn't make sense to me when I bred other animals in the past!

New kid in the family!

This is the new member of the family and she was born yesterday! This is the first female goat born at Hacienda Escott ever as all other kids were boys! I wanted more girls and the mama who I traded for one of the boys from my last litter was surprisingly Pregnant! Gracia Dio for the new addition!She is young and sweet just like her mommy and is a most wanted edition to the Finca!

My new digs and my new Neighbors

These are my new neighbors at my new Finca! I bought a piece a few lots to the left of this home! This next home is a few hundred meters away from my new finca! 3-4 lots away for this one! This home is taken by me standing on my property! No that cows ass isn't mine (Although it is a pretty ass::))and I am going to evict them today since I just closed on my property:) I hope to make this new finca a lot better than the old one and quicker because this new one cost me literally less than half the price I got for the other finca I have had for years and YES this one is over 8000 m2 LARGER!:) It also has better security and neighbors with way larger homes so they may just bring up the property values for me instead of the other way around!

My Finca is HISTORY as of today at 11:30AM

Well my finca that I have had now for 4-5 years is HISTORY! I sold it today at 11:30am and have all the money in my hand!I have worked and worked on this property and here you can see my Coconut tree that I started as a Coconut now having Baby Coconuts! I am going to miss this place for sure although I still have use of it for the next two months as part of the agreement to sell! ---------------- If any of you all know Larry F from NY who now lives in Santo Domingo please tell him I sold it for 333400 US Dollars ---------------- Last time I saw this Boob was when Tom who is known as Chris Colon was here and they came into my restaurant! While we were talking about real estate prices I mentioned that my finca was worth 250k at the time while we were talking about other prices around! ----------------- The Boob got angry with me and called me a liar! He said "I know what you paid for it and it isn't worth 250k now no matter what you say" I got a calculator and showed him 45 US a m2 X 5540 m2 and it came to 249300 US Dollars! He got angry and was saying I didn't know what I was talking about! Tom is my witness because he was at the same table but Tom agreed with me! ------------------- So someone get word to this BOOB that he was right I didn't get 250k I got 333k so it was my mistake! LOL That guy has his head so far up other peoples Ass's he may never see it again:) ------------------- Matter of fact one of the people whos ass his head hides out in a lot is now giving professional advice to people about real estate and charging for it! He has never to my knowledge purchased real estate here (my guess is that he doesn't have the money)or anywhere else but I guess there is something that compells him to feel that he is an expert:) These people are hilarious and I enjoy them completely!:) -------------------- Hey Larry I gave you the chance to respond to my emails but you decided you didn't want to so I figured I would get the message to you another way! LOL ------------------- I have told him to buy real estate here but of course he knew better! I also advised him about other investments but he knew better on that also although he did come around several years later and did invest where I had told him to invest way before! As far as I know he is still invested there but maybe not as I don't really have a reason to keep in touch with him! ------------------- Ok moving right along! I also purchased another property without getting out of my chair at the attorney's office! Look below for Photos of the neighboring properties! The new property is slighly more than 8000 m2 bigger which of course will take me a while to grow out of:) -------------------- Hasta Pronto!
