My Day in Photos

Yesterday was a full day. Starting with the men out early trimming the trees. Then went to check out the new bakery, Sabor Frances, that opened around the corner from me. They have some delicious and flaky croissants. But no coffee. Huh?

Then later on that afternoon I had to go grocery shopping. I think I have found my new supermarket. It is the new Jumbo Luperon. Jumbo is a brand of supermarkets in the D.R. They opened a supermarket that they claim is the largest in the Dominican Republic. It seems that way. They have pharmacies, photo studio, western union and many other amenities. But the best is the almost American food court. Check out the Papa John's, Quiznos, and Burger King. I couldn't get the Wendy's in the picture. There is even an amusement park-like above the food court. Me gusta.

The weather has been very breezy and brisk. Especially at night. Many Dominicans are complaining about how cold it is. Now, it has been getting quite chilly at night, but we're talking upper sixties, not cold by any stretch of the imagination. I wish I had a hammock so I could sleep on the roof. Many people are dressing like my friend above. I will call him E. People are wearing jackets with scarves and hats. This picture of E was taken while we were inside. The best time of year here weather-wise. Cold, indeed.

After watching a video on YouTube, I have now decided to create my own Google Map. Along with the usual bar/club listings, I will include restaurants, spas, and other places of interest to the gay tourist. There are only a few things listed right now. But I hope to keep expanding it with more listings, and some photos and videos. Here's the link to keep up with my progress: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&hq=nueva+creacion&hnear=&view=map&ei=Sd9GS7W0FJH6ygS1rsXlAg&attrid=&msa=0&msid=117137536156148139697.00047ca31e06320cb6ea6&ll=18.472689,-69.9121&spn=0.037692,0.109863&z=14
