It grows on you. It is like a love hate relationship. You get mad and complain but really couldn't see myself not living here. Sitting outside and having those that pass by say "hola" or "como esta dona". Watching the sunset at night. Having fresh guandules (sp?). Going to my favorite panderia and getting fresh rolls stuffed with ham and cheese. Being within a short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Going to the campo and sitting out front at my in-laws in a rocking chair just watching the people. Watching my son embrace his Dominican heritage. Sharing a trago (sp?) with my father in-law and listening to his stories. This might not be the reason I originally came here but these are some of the reasons I stay.

Hey Keepcoming,

Not to steer the thread away from the op but seeing that you love guandules so much, I was wondering if you have ever tried some arvejas secas, guisadas? If you have not, you should give them a try. I can almost guarantee you will love them.
They ate cooked just like beans and guandules, just make sure that you leave them in water the day prior.
