My name is Phil Taranoff, retired in Mao away from much of the daily bustle of this world. My first experience with this lovely island came in 1976 when I was sent here by the Peace Corps. While my assignment and results of were somewhat forgettable I was able to touch a lot of lives and give them a look at another life. I fell in love with the people, so much so that I married one and we are still together after more than 41 years. After life back in the US I decided to retire here, leaving our 2 sons and 2 grandsons back in Florida.I have planted a substantial garden which has provided much for us and our neighbors and family. Each day is different, working in my garden, visiting family and friends, seeing different parts of the island. And all the while, hiding just a little bit.
Hiding from the world in the DR
That's a nice story😄.....my husband and I hope to hide away there some day too! I'm hoping we won't watch the news as much which only causes stress, and just get lost in the day as they run together.
