The Art of the Deal

-
The Art of the Deal taking shape here...the grandparent fresh off the plane, three grandkids eyeing things they really want.....looks like check-mate.....cuanto cuesta? 
Toyota Prado turbo diesel....get to the areas a little away from the main tourist channels, even though we are tourists....es no facil, pero es posible.  
Rain clouds starting to form around a tranqui town in the south.....probably the last artistic photo that will be uploaded.
We're all slow to change a little, but still gettin it done on the donkey cart....you can have your building material delivered no problema....garbage service pick up is also offered by donkey cart in San Pedro de Macoris....its actually probably one of the more safer ways of getting around San Pedro.
 Ruby is still a little confused on where we are exactly and whats going on.

Ultimos Dias y una Fiesta en Loiza

The universal emotions of winning and losing, success and failure.  Navarro connects for a home run in the first game, pure joy.  After dropping two straight and getting bounced from the tournament el Cocoteritos season comes to an end, players were truly sad.  Over the past couple years I've began to look over at the losers side, the losers dugout.  Its a little difficult to do because our attention is naturally drawn to the winning side and the celebration.  But if you remember, take a glance over at the losers dugout, you can really learn a lot about a team. Final field prep, final stretch and a horse training session in the North Atlantic near Loiza. Coaches: Wilfredo, Francisco, Candela y el Cocoteritos ultima fiesta en la communidad de Loiza. Back in the beautiful, beautiful United States of America.  York River in Virginia. Y la paz de Dios gobierne en vuestros corazones.

  Everybody's happy when you get new jerseys and are winning.  Little League for 9/10 year olds in Loiza, Puerto Rico.  After a rough start to the season, Los Cocoteritos won 6 straight and advance to the semi-finals. Coaches de Los Cocoteritos: Wilfredo, Candela and Francisco. Practices and games start with prayer en la Republica Dominicana y Puerto Rico.   A dog and his iguana.  Getting out of del sol caribeno and cooling down en El Yunque Rainforest. Always windy, the north atlantic went still one day during the eclipse and looked like el caribeno.  The problem with no wind is that you get killed by mosquitos in the evening.   Rio Espiritu Santo flowing into the North Atlantic.  Still thinking about leaving Dean at one of these islands.  It's his home.

Saludo de Puerto Rico.  A commonwealth and unincorporated territory of the United States.  Not sure what that really means.  It's a little confusing.  Distances between pueblos are marked in kilometers, but the speed limit is posted in MPH.  Someone born in Puerto Rico could in fact become President of the United States, but the people of Puerto Rico have no vote in the U.S. Presidential election.  Puerto Rico has a steadily declining population of 3.25 million, but there are around 9 million Puerto Ricans in the world.  It's referred to as the Puerto Rican diaspora.  It's been happening for some time, but accelerated after the two devastating hurricanes of Irma and Maria in 2017.  Irma was a category 5 hurricane that came close to the island, 10 days later Maria, a category 4 went straight through the country.  I heard someone talking that in the "eye" of a hurricane everything goes calm for a period but then the ferocity starts again a...
