"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you did not do than by the ones you did do.
So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour, catch the tradewinds in your sails.
Explore,.....Dream,.......Discover."

Baseball


   Today and every Saturday is the weekly cruisers vs the locals baseball game, known as Los Dominicanos vs Los Gringo's. We met at Wendy's bar where we introduced to our appointed coach. His pep talk....., not to many beer before the game, drink some water and have some fun. Good advice, it was 10 in the morning.


    When we got to the ball diamond they tried to intimidate us by having a 10 year old pitcher warming up. It was amazing how fast this skinny little kid could throw a fastball. All gloves, bats, and other equipment is supplied. As you step up to the plate, the first thing you must do, is pick your runner from the group of kids who eagerly want to participate.

 Many town folks came to watch. To say the least, we didn't totally embarrass ourselves, but were beat by the home team.


We lost count, but had a great time.
    Afterwards the kids lined up for glasses of pop which the cruisers had footed the bill.

We went back to Wendy's bar to have after game refreshments, while our opponents rested. we even tired out one of our local dogs.



 On the way home, picked up one of the Delicious chickens.


 Look forward to next week.
