Day 34-35: Family Time

 

We met up with Ilsa and Fernando Gonzales, Yoli's Cousin is Ilsa, but I think of Fernando as Uncle Fernando, he is 74 and a wise man. He is still working as a consult for companies globally that due business in Dominican Republic. We spent the afternoon Saturday just hanging out and catching up on family stuff. They all chipped in and had nice rice & Chicken mix. Sunday for lunch, we headed to the 100 year old country club that Fernando has belonged to since 1967 and further back his father as well. He knows everyone in town or at least who's who at the club. After we had a wonderful dinner that Otto and Anna-Gabby their son and his fiance joined in, we went home and talked business, bitcoin, real estate, politics. Uncle Fernando spent an hour showing me how to light and smoke a Dominican cigar. Not sure it is in my future, I was not very good at it.
