Went for lunch there. Called an Uber, the rate shown was 225 pesos. When I went to pay, cash, the guys says: 10 dollars. What? The fellow says, he was trying to keep it simple, dollars for Americans. I told him, many are suckers without elementary math skill or because they are drunk but that I am going to file a complaint for asking 3 times.
Attaching some photos at the restaurant!

Right now the talk is about a potential re-imposing of curfew, whatever that means. The case load is apparently increasing and I can see why. Many have masks as decorative chin covers and some are walking the streets, screeching, the way the locals speak.
Coming back, I went out lunch time today, braving the sun and here are some pictures of the main street around 2 PM from the vantage point of the restaurant with alfresco dining (had the schnitzel but it was disappointing today plus a price of 500 pesos PLUS an additional 18% my total bill was 950 pesos with a corona beer and expresso; the Germany Bar and Grill, if I recall has it at 300 pesos with taxes included).
The street looked more animated with some women looking for business.

The beer is on me.
I'm hoping to go to Sosua in September.

One other thing I love in the tropics are the fruits. I have not tried cutting up a pineapple in a long time, because I don't care for the ones I find at my place. The other day I bought one though, and it smelled nice but I had not mustered the courage to clean the fruit up. Mangoes are so much easier!
Today, a woman visited me and I asked her if she knew how to do it. She nodded and when she was free, got to working on it. I told her to take some of the fruit home. She was pleased and left my part in the refrigerator. Later, when I went to check, she had also cleaned the dishes in the sink I had left earlier and I did not even ask her to do that.
On another note, I went to Germany restaurant. It was 8 PM and they like others, were closing down. Darn, I like the idea of a late and leisurely dinner while on vacation, every now and then.

Us old Brits miss our Guinness though, not sold anywhere, even in the "Irish" pubs!

Well, there is nothing that you and the other local residents already do not know.
I went out to the main drag at 8 PM last night and everything was shuttered down by then. I saw some women hanging around on the corner but I would not touch any.
Speaking of COVID and awareness, I was surprised by two things: all come in with the mask on and, more interestingly, a few wondered about me. So I told them that I went to Playero etc and had to do the temp check, which helped them relax. The mothers in particular are more wary I thought, despite the fact that they know me. It is a good thing.

Sosua has a lot going for it, besides chicas.
To me happiness is a tropical beach, a good companion or two, and kicking back in the shade with a cold beer served by smiling chicas, who are glad you are there, and give you their undivided attention.
No tourists yet to speak of, but when the airport and all the hotels and restorantes open up again in the fall, I expect there will be an big influx of tourists escaping the shut downs and cabin fever at home.
Thanks for the daily reports.
