My country #fmsphotoaday #fms_mycountry #october #2016 This is my country, the Dominican Republic. A blessed island in the Caribbean, with the most beautiful beaches and mountains, green valleys and never ending rivers, situated right in the middle of the path of the sun. Where people smile no matter what and are always happy and eager to lend a helping hand. The land of merengue, birthplace of famous baseball players, the most beautiful land eyes have ever seen. The Dominican Republic has it all.

And here we go again 294/366 #project366 #october #2016 El jodido edificio de atrás no tiene ni 2 meses de terminado y ya al cruzar de la calle tumban una casa para comenzar otro. Ya son pocas las casas que quedan por la zona. Más carros, más bulla, más gente sin educación irrespetando lo que era antes una zona tranquila... ¿De dónde sale tanta gente? ¡Santo Domingo progresa!

Where's Batman? 288/366 #project366 #october #2016 It had been at least 20 years since the last time I visited El Mesón de la Cava, a local Spanish restaurant built inside a cave. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Too bad I missed Batman, Robin and Alfred.

Surprise! 287/366 #project366 #october #2016 Imagine you wake up to go to work on a Thursday morning and when you go downstairs to get into your car you find out that a huge concrete light pole fell on top of it (aside from the fact that you were facing the wrong way on a one way street). Now who do you sue? The government? The electricity service provider? The company who made the pole? The company who installed it? All of the above? Will you even win?

¡Antojo! 284/366 #project366 #october #2016 El sábado le comentaba a una amiga que tenía un antojo de "bajarme" una leche condensada fría y ella a su vez me comentaba que se había comido un flan de lata que estaba buenísimo. Hoy, después de un inicio de mañana bien pesado pensaba que mi día iba a ser horrible, hasta que tocaron la puerta de mi oficina. ¡Gracias, AS! 😍

Orange #fmsphotoaday #fms_orange #october #2016 Well, this has been the toughest prompt for me so far. I mean, who likes the color orange? Who has a house full of orange things that only a tiny fraction of those fit on a pic with an orange wall as background? Who even had an orange vehicle a few years ago? Who lives and breathes orange? D'uh! ME!

El pasillo 281/366 #project366 #october #spanglish Extraño verte en el pasillo donde usualmente te encontraba cuando llegaba a la casa. Extraño "pelear" contigo porque no prendías la luz para atravesarlo. Extraño tu sonrisa y tu "¿qué hay?" cuando te encontraba saliendo de allí. Extraño el sonido de tus pasos mientras iba detrás de tí. Te extraño todo, papi.

Instructions followed, Mr. Walters 280/366 #project366 #october #2016 #tbt Back in the dark ages, when there was no internet or iPhones and homework was done by hand, it was hard to find books in English in the Dominican Republic. Well, technically, it was hard to find quality stuff here. Whenever we traveled we went shopping for EVERYTHING, and when I say everything I mean it (my parents used to bring me bags of Mc Donald's cheeseburgers and Doritos from the US). Back in 7th grade (1986), when we started being taught by "high school teachers", our English/Grammar/Literature teacher, Mr. Jacobo Walters, requested we buy "The American Heritage Dictionary" if and when we traveled to the US, and if we didn't travel then we had to ask someone to buy it for us. There was no valid excuse for not getting it. This was our first and most important assignment. Our lives depended on it. No ifs, ands or buts, no Merriam Webster, we HAD to get IT, the Second College Edition. So my parents complied and soon enough I had my dictionary with me. Mr. Walters told us we had to keep it safe, take care of it as if our lives depended on it. I guess I took his "advice" too literally because 30 years later the dictionary is still in excellent shape and holds a privileged place in my bookshelf. See, Mr. Walters, I do know how to follow instructions!

Boot day thanks to Matthew 277/366 #project366 #october #2016 #hurricanematthew has brought water to our island on his "Caribbean Cruise". I wasn't about to get wet, so I went to the office wearing jeans and sporting my "rainy day boots". More water and bad weather is expected tomorrow, mainly because this guy, aside from being huge, is slow as a turtle. We keep our neighbor Haiti in our prayers as they will receive the blunt force of Matthew directly, as well as those less fortunate who live close to flooding areas and whose housing will not be able to sustain the winds. #huracanmatthew #santodomingo #dominicanrepublic #republicadominicana #weather
