Boca Chica in the Daytime
Just returned from several days in Boca Chica and Santo Domingo. I never stayed awake after about 9 Pm, so I don't know what happens after that.
Boca Chica is kind of a sorry little town during the day. About half of the buildings in town are either abandoned and wrecks or just waiting for the inevitable. There are some nice buildings, but few and far between. I spent hours wandering around on foot in the areas "arriba" meaning the rest of the town above the strip and the beach. Every person I met was friendly and helpful, actually interested in having a conversation in many cases. I met a couple of women on my walks who wanted to negotiate, but that was not my intent at those times.
The town is some kind of Italian rest home destination. When you spend time in the plaza during the day, there is this tawdry collection of old Italian guys (I'm 63) who just don't seem to have much pride in their appearance. It is kind of gross. They sit around all day waiting for a woman who will accept 500 Pesos for TLN. I'm not kidding. I spoke to several guys who live there half time (six months in Italy, six months in BC) who quoted the same expectation. Typically, these women are not beautiful! But their bodies are not bad at all.
There were also a fair number of German and Swiss guys doing much the same thing, although I never met any who were spending the half and half time like the Italians. The European element during the day is predominant.
I was able to enjoy the company of three different women (one for two days) the four nights I spent in BC. Two were from San Pedro (a city east of BC) and one was from Santo Domingo. All three come to BC to make some money and then return home until it runs out. They were shocked at the idea of working in their home towns because they would die of shame if their friends and family knew what they were doing. This is my favorite kind of professional woman. The first was the most expensive, and in some ways the best. She wanted 2,000 Peso for TNL, but agreed to 1,500 without too much trouble. We had sex twice (my limit, I'm no athlete) once at night and once in the morning. She was very black, but a Dominicana, with great personality.
The second was a retired pro with experience all over the island, including years in Sosua. She was 30, with three teenage kids. I did not want her overnight, but she wanted to stay. She asked for 1, 200 Pesos to start, and I said okay. She was great, and we had several hours of good fun, but I didn't want her overnight, so she left, finally. She was a slender morena, and probably 5 ft 10 in height.
The third was a Haitian woman, undocumented, which almost lost me her company at the hotel. They didn't want to let her in, but relented finally after about ten minutes of very low key conversation. She asked for 3 000 Pesos, but I offered her 1,000. She was very sad that I knew what the market rate was, but graciously accepted the 1,000 for TLN. I really liked this woman, and we had great fun evening and in the morning. So much so that I asked her to return that afternoon for a send off before my flight back home. I paid her 1,000 again for the short time visit of about 2 hours.
I met the first woman on a Sunday afternoon, walking on the strip. I saw her first in the Little Swiss restaurant, then just walking, and finally as I came around a blind corner we almost collided. That was sign from above, so I stopped fighting it and took her home. She was the least professional of the three, and negotiations were kind of difficult because she really wasn't happy about her status and situation. But with a little consideration, she warmed up nicely and we enjoyed about 12 hours of company, including two meals and the night together. All together, with meals, drinks and a tip, I spent about 3, 000 Pesos (including my food and drinks). I also gave her a piece of jewelry costing $9.00 US from the Miami airport store. She left very happy, begging me to take her numbers, and wanted me to visit her in San Pedro. I very well might on my next trip.
The second woman was sitting on bench in the park after dark, and had a roly poly friend who was kind of attractive. I tried to see if they both would come up, but they were not interested in any kinky sex. As mentioned, her first offer was 1,200, and I didn't want to beat her down, so just made sure all of the details were included before closing the deal. This woman was obviously much more experienced, so I was a little leery of getting "too good of deal." But she was on the up and up, and everything went very well with us until the very end. We spent a couple hours in my room, and then came back to the strip for some dinner. She wanted to feed her friend, and that was okay with me. It took a while to locate the friend again, but we finally found her running off with some guy. So we went to the restauraunt without her after all. Here's where her experience kind of soured a little. She ordered the most expensive dish, and added a few extras. This may seem a little petty, but that kind of ends the romance on the wrong note. Anyway, total fare was about 2,500 Pesos including meals, drinks, and a tip. I also gave her a nice little set of earrings.
Met the Haitiana in the park, she was sola and walked up to my bench to initiate the negotiations. I was secretly very happy to see her because I was hoping to meet at least one Haitian woman on my trip if for no other reason to see what all the fuss is about. Fortunately for me she could speak Spanish well, because I have no French or Kreole. As stated, she started high at 3,000 Pesos. But without too much time or trouble, she agreed that 1,000 Pesos was all she could expect for TLN. She was 26, slender, with very nice rear, and beautiful skin. I've been with Kenyans in German clubs, and she could have been straight from Kenya by her appearance. She was so nice. She insisted on washing me in the shower, and afterwards, would not let me dry myself either. Very sweet woman. We had a great time, went out for dinner, and then slept well together. The next morning she left, but I told her maybe we would meet up again that afternoon. I was lucky again because I really wanted her before a few hours were up, and was so happy to see her later that day in the park. All told, for the first night, spent about 2,500 Pesos, including the meal, tip etc. The afternoon was another 1,000 for a couple of hours, but that was my gift to her for such a nice experience the night before. I'm sure she would have accepted less, giving some credence to the Italian geriatrics' expectations.
So for an older guy, Boca Chica during the day was okay. None of these women were beautiful lookers. But they all had very nice bodies, so delightful for a dirty old man. The experience of enjoying the company of such accommodating women was well worth the trouble of getting there and the costs were low.
