The DR or the RD

So I’ve been in the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, for a couple of weeks. I’ve been looking for a girlfriend and talking to many people, girls included, both nothing has panned out. But I did meet a German Girl and we had a good time. We visited some underground pools called Los Tres Ojos And we danced Salsa and Merengue at a Dominican night club called 77 in the colonial district. I should have gone in for a kiss with her. Damn!

Las Terrenas

Just got to Las Terrenas on the northern coast of DR. I was here in 2019 and enjoyed my time here. I met some good people and bought some weed. Now I’m back and staying in the same wonderful hostel, Manty’s Guesthouse. The first night I stayed in a cheap motel an hour out of town and it had a fierce guard dog who I befriended. One time I returned to the motel and greeted the dog through the fence and he pissed on me. I believe he thought that was a show of affection.

Las Terrenas Part 2

In Las Terrenas I saw some backpackers from the hostel in Santo Domingo. Two English guys, an Australian girl, and an American girl from Colorado. We had a few drinks at a disco on the beach where I also met up with my Italian friend who I met there in 2019, Alessandro. When I would walk around town at night I was approached multiple times by prostitutes. I politely told them that I wasn’t interested. And some of them got angry with me. One of them followed me for a few blocks down the street. She was persistent and I had to get terse with her. From an outsiders point of view it may have looked like we were a couple arguing.
So I didn’t find a girlfriend in the Dominican Republic. And the girl who I wanted to see who I met in 2019 was too busy to hang out. Oh well, on to the next chapter.

Tomorrow I fly to Tampa to start the next year of my life.
