For those of you in the area.....

If you know the road to Hotel Catalina......

Off the main road , heading to Catalina Ariba...
The 1st left to go to the hotel .. there is a colmado

Outside this colmado - Thurs to Sunday- is a food cart - 6 to 11pm
Excellent chef.

Ask for a 'Guillermo'....
you won't be disappointed....
I promise

Enjoy

Is that at the corner just before you get to the BIG papaya tree to go to La Familia?

The colmado on the corner.....

And this my friends is how we give directions here.......  :lol::lol::lol:

WillieWeb

Certainly is...
I’ll go you one better

We have a zip code .. postal code ... 33000
But no street address... figure that

One day I’m passing the post office and the girl calls me in
Shows me a letter for a foreigner asking if I know him

It was ME!!

My Canada Pension... about $8’000 ....
Whew

Next trip to Canada... I set them straight
You give 2 addresses... a living  and a mailing
Naturally, the government used the wrong one

Fixed now

But yes, the mail gets delivered....
4 doors from Jorge’s Colmado, 2nd floor

And it works!!

Figure that one

I understand completely. Once lived in an apartment where the owner made up his address.  He didn't like the name of the street, so he created a new name.  Sadly it was the same address of another house so constantly confused!

In Santo Domingo my wharehouse is #3.  And it is right across the street from #34 and right beside #37. 

No logic to any of this!

I was looking for an address once - a law office.
Because of the number sequences (lack thereof) i kept going in circles....lost

I went to the ambulance boys to get directions....
They didn't know !!!

There is no true system..... but they muddle through

planner

Somehow it all works......
