Dr Gringas Blog Has Moved

I have been trying to make a blog that will appear as part of my own web site. I finally did it! Wahoo!

The new address is https://colonialzone-dr.com/dr_gringa_blog

I have added some new stuff to make it easier to save, give it a FaceBook like and other stuff I hope you will make it more user friendly. Make sure to change your bookmarks.

Another Wowwie.

I found these articles today and they are a must share.
The first is in Spanish and gives more detail about the Dominican perspective. The second is the World Report with the entire worlds report.

World Penis Size

Make sure to scroll down to the bottom of the page and check out the Figures 4 and 5. These give two different reports. Note the difference between the self reports and the official reports. Incredible. Now I wonder whos tax dollars - pesos - yen - euros (or whatever other monies names are out there) paid for this study???

Caribbean Air Show 2011 Preview

The Air show is Saturday and Sunday and the planes are practicing.Today on my apartment the planes were flying overhead and they were so loud that I couldn't even hear the tv. The car alarms in the street were going off as the planes roared overhead. I tried taking a picture but by the time I heard a plane and got the camera out the window it was out of sight.

I'm not sure if Ill go and see the show. In my old age..jeje ..I'm not into big crowds.Maybe Ill just sit on the 5 story roof top of my building and watch a bit as they fly over. Or I might just get the urge to go and see the show close up. One never knows what my mood will be.

I'll try and take at least a video to post.

More info about the Air Show at the Colonial Zone News Blog. Thats my new blog with news and information about Colonial Zone and the area.

Carnival Dominicano 2011

The grand finale Carnival was Sunday March 6th in Santo Domingo on the Malecon. I didn't go to the main part of carnival. I just wasn't up for all the crowds, noise and people all mashing up against each other and also the need to watch all around you for those nasty thieves. So I just hung out with my neighbors in the park near to my home. Maybe I'm just getting to old...but I sure hope not. I didn't take many pictures but I did take 2 good videos. Enjoy!

How Many Seeds in a Grapefruit?

I love grapefruit or Grei-frú or toronja or pomelo. Whatever name you give them they are yummy. They are so juicy and sweet. I am just amazed by how many seeds one grapefruit has so I decided to spend my morning counting them. You may be asking yourself how much time does this Gringa have on her hands? Well, I did this in my quest for information just to share with my readers because I care.

So here is the number I came up with today...53 seeds in 1 grapefruit. This grapefruit must really be worried about carrying on its species or something. But anyhow, this is a fact and here is the picture to prove it.

By the way, I did enjoy eating my 53 seed grapefruit.
