A few weeks into our trip, my Uncle Louie joined us. Last year Mr. B encouraged Uncle Louie to get his passport in the event that one day we ever go to the Dominican Republic he could join us. When this trip became a reality, I called him and asked him if he wanted to join us. He wasted no time sending me a check so that I could purchase his ticket. Uncle Louie is retired and lives in the big city of Miami, Arizona so he must have been ready for some new surroundings. He spends most of his days exploring the country. He is able to see more than we are able to as traveling with all of us is kept to a minimum. We enjoy hearing about his adventures at the end of the day. He sleeps on the couch and requires only 2 drawers of space. When he is around, he enjoys smoking, which the girls remind him that it is not healthy and they ask why he does not turn green like Pinocchio does in the movie. He likes to listen to local music outside on the patio and drink his coffee. He has developed several models of a fly swatter with materials he gathers on his adventures and thoroughly enjoys the look on the girls face when he takes his teeth out to eat. It has been nice to have him around as he requires very little and my only complaint is that he never puts the toilet seat down! He has really taken a liking to this town of Juan Dolio and is considering staying after we leave.
