ONNO's

There is a beach front restaurant here called ONNOs. 
They have lots of specials every day.
 
 
 but one of the best days is Taco, Tequila Tuesday.  This is like we have in Bella Vista except you will notice they added "tequila".   In addition to their regular specials they have taco specials AND margarita specials. 
Their margaritas are $99 pesos which is $2 US dollars.  They come in a variety of flavors but one of the best is the Passion Fruit margarita.  In addition, they have their tacos--the best one is the Diablo Shrimp for $89 pesos ($1.80).
The atmosphere adds to the flavor since you are right on the sand.
Gail and I shared a table that was right next to the outdoor shower and lots of local decoration.
 
 
There was a good crowd.
And we even saw a cruise ship go by.
 
We plan on going back real soon.

Our Place

It is so nice to have a wife like Gail.  Her heritage says everything always has to be clean and she has the energy and mentality to make it so.  When we arrived at our condo, she had to make sure the kitchen was hospital clean.   She also want to make sure we keep everything clean and "unused".  So she covers the couch with a sheet so it doesn't get us dirty and we don't get it dirty. They tell us the water here is much better than it used to be but suggest we still do not drink it.  The condo has a water dispenser and it only costs $2 for a five gallon jug and they deliver it--not too bad.  However, we have our own purifier that we make water for ice cubes (lots of those), coffee, brushing teeth, etc.         This picture is our laundry room.  We have a cloths washer but dry the cloths on the cloths line.  Speaking of water, this is our water heater.   There is a switch on the wall to turn it on and off.  We only turn it on when

Day 1

Image
Yesterday when we finally arrived in Bavaro, Dominican Republic we decided we needed to get some basic groceries.  We found the main drag and walked to a mini market.  We got some milk and eggs and a couple other small items and then ran into a guy with a truck load of fruit.  We got some bananas, grapefruit and avacados.  On our way home it started to rain and rained for about 30 minutes--just enough to flood all of the streets. This morning our first order of business was to find the beach,  It is several blocks but not really far.  Many of the sidewalks are very narrow as you can see.      We got to the beach about 9:00 and the first thing we saw was a guy getting a massage.  What a great way to start you day.    The beach is beautiful--much more than expected.  There is a little sea grass but the sand is soft and fluffy.  It does not bother Gail's knee especially as long as we stay below the water line.   There are designated areas where boats ca

Getting Ready To Go Home

We leave to come home in a couple days so I thought I would take a last opportunity to cover some of the miscellaneous things I have not yet posted. It is amazing how many nationalities we have encountered here--lots of people from Russia, French, of course, but you're not always sure if they are French or Canadian.  Above us are people from Argentina, Canadians are everywhere, Serbia, Lebanon, Italian, Asian, and more.  One of the nicest families we have met is from Romania.  We are now friends on Facebook-Adrian, Olivia, and Philip. Dominican Republic is a third world country, whatever that is, and more than anywhere else we have been, they have not been exposed to the concept of not littering.   Everywhere, on every street, there is plastic and styrofoam just thrown everywhere.  I know I am not supposed to use a word over and over but the only word that works is "everywhere".  The good thing is that among all of this trash there is still the beauty of fl
