The Latest on poor Perlita

The good news is that Perla is now putting pressure on the bad leg. She doesn't seem to be in pain nor does she have much dexterity, but it has to be a good sign. A few of the Rocky's Regulars have been giving Perla daily massages to the affected paw, and would like to think, i'm sure, that the work has been paying off. Only time will tell.

Raymond Archer, a Sosua Talent

This guy is not just a familiar face around town here in Sosua, he is also a published author with a new book on the way. It's called Apocalyptic Ring Tones and you can read more about its release here. He was in Rocky's this morning working on some of his publishing details, and doing some fine tuning on his website. He's a real character and has alot of great stories about the Dominican Republic and what it was like more than 20 years ago.

An Early Morning in Sosua

For whatever reason , this morning , i woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep. As usual that meant an early walk to the main road in the dark and probably a taxi or gua gua , instead of the normal moto concho. The conchos dont really get going until around 7:00 am . I got into town around 6:00 am which meant an extended sit at Cafe' Girasol and more time to ponder life in Sosua. I was greeted by the normal early morning crew: the local Wachimen finishing up there night shift, some of the local working girls catching the public cars back to their respective Pueblos and the local Hustlers (called tigueres here ) grabbing a coffee and heading home as well. I love the mornings here for a couple of reasons...1) there is far less "buya" or noise polution and there fore things seem a little more peaceful and calm. and 2) You can see the "big picture" and witness the local eb and flow in Sosua and realize that underneath it all there is a community of people just trying to live normal lives like everywhere else in the world. This seems a little harder to witness at 11:00pm for some reason. Things seem a little more comercial. that's all for now, as i have to get to work, but i will be uploading some random pics later in the day.

Sunday Night at Rockys

Viva Catalonia

This guy must get all the chicks. I wonder if he speaks Spanish . Oh and by the way is that a Flag on his T-shirt or just some Crazy Design.

The people of Catalonia have autonomy in Spain. This means they have their own local government, their own police and some control over their own community. In September 2005, the Catalan Parliament decided to call Catalonia a 'nation' according to Spanish Constitution which says that Spain is a group of nationalities. But this term has no judicial valor and it's only a term to calm down a minority of separatists. Catalonia is richer than many other Spanish regions, because industrialization began there earlier than in other Spanish areas. However, this relative richness is used by the Spanish state to subsidize other Spanish areas. There are a lot of factories and businesses in the cities. The region is also greener than southern Spain, and crops are grown here. The north of Catalonia is less hot than the rest of Spain, and has more hills and trees. In the north of the region is the border with France.

Sunday Morning in Sosua

As i wandered towards the Main Road this morning, i couldn't help but notice the lack of clouds and the imressive anount of sunshine. It has been the exception more than the rule this high season , although , knock on wood, we seem to be "out of the woods in terms of the rainy cloudy wet stuff. As i am still waking up this morning, and am still trying to decide the theme and purpose of this daily Blog i don't have much to say other than it is a beautiful day here in Sosua and i am thankful for everything i have. On a positive note , Perla , one of the House Dogs here at Rockys escaped last night with her accomplis Bruno(no doubt the motivating force). The Good news is she is showing signs of recovery from a previos injury to her front leg. Up until today i hadn't seen her put pressure on it but as she scrambled in , shamelessly this morning after her nocturnal adventures, i noticed that she was running on all fours. Although she was limping quite a bit this seems like a positive sign. As is normally the case after an " AWOL alnighter " The Dogs are crashed in the sun , rejuevenating themselves for there next adventure. I'll try to snap o couple of picture in order to develop a habit of 1 post a day with pictures and video. Kev Out
