Trying Out Exercise Machines

October 24, 2020October 24, 2020 rdgringa Leave a comment Just a Story, Wowwee's

I decided to try one of these exercise machines out at the Parque La Francia (Villa Duarte, Santo Domingo Este) this morning. I pass by and see others using these machines all the time.

Neighborhood Dogs Love Treaties

May 6, 2020May 6, 2020 rdgringa Leave a comment Just a Story, My Favorite Stories

The Neighborhood Dogs Love Treaties When I take Buenagente and Inteliperra out for their morning and evening walks around Villa Duarte and Mameyes I always take some treaties with me.
