Boca Chica, Dominican Republic

An eagle's eye view of living in the Dominican Republic from someone who actually lives in the Dominican Republic!

For most people, the thought of moving to a "third world country" is daunting. Where do I live? Is it cheap? Is it safe? What will I eat? What is everyday life like? What if I don't speak the language? How will I get around? What if I get sick? So many questions and not enough answers. Oh, there are plenty of websites out there, but do those people actually live there?

So enters the "Dominican Treasures" blog. We actually live in Boca Chica, Dominican Republic. We walk the streets, shop in the shops, eat the food, and are learning the language. Let us show you what living in the Dominican Republic is REALLY like. That way you'll know for sure if it's for you.

As we go about life here we will be updating our blog with pictures and little stories of our everyday lives. Feel free to leave comments or email us with questions. We'd be more than happy to help in any way.

Chaos


Our whole family was here the last week of January. We had a lot of fun ('cept at the end of the week I became as sick as a dog with some form of killer flu). Beach, beach and more beach. I even got to beat my two son-in-laws and my son Tony in basketball one day - don't think that will ever happen again since I am getting old and they just were not into the game that day. Shane became indoctrinated as an official Gatto sans party animal. Thanks for the good time kids. We had a blast and miss you already.
