I planned my exile after the photos from Abu Ghraid

the DR was the one country on my list which I had not yet visited, and thus, had not eliminated as a retirement option.

I have savings and worked as a journalist for a while and did a gig saving about 300 Haitians in exile and now am retired...

(but about to start this really groovy farm growing snails and mushrooms as soon as the dR1 team can locate a cave for me)

Finally, after 8 years, I am really starting to have fun!

i guess you would call it economical because in the States, I would be living at a MUCH lower level than I do here. My rent is reasonable and fixed, my cleaning lady mops the floor like a ballet dancer, the English library with 6000 books is three blocks away. The pool is one block. Ditto for the grocery, the pharmacy, the flower seller, the shoe repair guy, the groovy little French Dominican air conditioned restaurant, my two taxi drivers, my three fruit salesmen...... have to take a cab maybe once a month to see a movie over in that other section called Naco....

but i am lucky enough to live in Gazcue
on foot
