Yesterday afternoon a Dominican national stopped me on the dock and we talked for about 30 minutes or so. He was from here, educated at North Texas State and married a girl from just SE of Sherman, TX. We had lots to talk about and he seemed reluctant to end it as did I. Later after dark when Sally & I were walking to the shower in the hotel we passed his dock front condo next to the hotel and were invited in and asked if we wanted the best and coldest beer we had ever experienced. I very, very reluctantly agreed, followed him into his beer vault (yes, under combination lock) where he had beer in a freezer. It was not frozen but several drink mixers were which I don't understand and it did not freeze when he opened it like american beer does. It was absolutely the best tasting beer ever to cross my taste buds. The beer is Presidente and the man is president of the Brewery. Sally and his wife hit it off and we had a wonderful visit with them in a luxury condo you won't believe.
Sunday morning, they asked if we would like to join them in their motor boat to go see the humpback whales play. He had to break my arm again! the boat is a 40' cc with 3 - 300hp yamaha's. On the way out he showed us the house his father built on the foundation of the original Spanish fort that guarded the entry to this bay. We watched whales for a couple of hours and headed back. They had to go back to Santo Domingo for work but I promised him several times to stop to see them our way back from the Virgin Islands. Gonna be a hard promise to keep!
I will have to send another email with more pictures cause most recipients email reject more than four pics
