Happy New Year ... There will be parties everywhere tomorrow. I am not sure where I am going. I think Ramonita is coming from Puerto Plata. Since I took her to a pig roast in the barrio on Christmas Eve (which I am sure was no big thrill for her), I will probably go to one of the better parties around Sosua. My friend Leif is going to the Scandanavian Bar. I may go along with him and his lady. The price is steep, but includes a really nice Scandinavian buffet and drinks.
Dominican Baseball Playoffs ... We are now four games into the 18-game round-robin semi-final playoff to determine the final two teams to play in the Island Championship. So far so good for my Aguilas. After losing to the Gigantes Thursday night, Aguilas de Cibaenas turned the tables on the team from San Francisco de Macoris last night 8-2. In the other game Licey kept the Toros winless with a 7-4 victory. The Gigantes and Aguilas are tied for first with 3 wins and 1 loss apiece. Licey is in 3rd at 2-2. The Toros de Azucareros are in last at 0-4. Tonight the Toros are in Santiago to play the Aguilas and Licey is in San Francisco de Macoris to play the Gigantes. After tonight the teams will break for two days for the New Year's Festivals.
This and That ... Today several pictures with no particular category documented.
I have this picture on the desktop of my computer right now. I took it the other day while walking on the beach.
Tom hard at work at the restaurant.
Dominicans love their music. This is a small band that walks around the beach playing their music.
Another picture of Yulissa at the tienda in Los Charamicos.
Sosua Beach from the Los Charamicos side.
A gua-gua or as we sometimes call them ... chicken bus.
Schools Out! The holiday vacation lasts until January 10 here in Sosua.
Rain clouds out to the west of Sosua Beach. These clouds will continue to move west and pour rain onto Puerto Plata. Rain seems to always come in from the southeast here.
Another picture of Esmeralda, her brother and his daughter at their tienda.
My next door neighbor Bessie. Straight across from the restaurant Hamburger Paradise there is an little open field. Two cows are kept there to graze. Not quite sure why we chose the name Bessie because Bessie is a he. Bessie is very docile and you can walk up and scratch his head (he loves that). The other one is not to go around. We take Bessie all sorts of goodies most days.

Sugar cane ready to be cut near Montellano.
Life Is Good ... ademas (more later)!
