Europa is decent you can try that. About $30 a night.

I think they are up to $40 now?

I paid in dollars in Jauary and it was about $33 for me.

I´m a single impulsive black male, travelling alone, with no spanish skills, 2 credit cards, and about $1300 US Cash... ops: Im a walking target so to speak!! (good thing, i´m 6´4 250 Solid.. so that sometimes proves as a deterance factor)

You been to Brazil 6 times and you are worried about being a target in the DR?

In the DR a 11 year old kid might follow you for two blocks wanting to shine your shoes, in Brazil he would of sliced you with a knife after 500 feet!

On the serious side, glad you found a flight.

If the Frat House atomsphere of the Palace is not to your liking, then the Europa will be perfect though for a new person expect the full US$50-55 rate.

This is my 6th time in Brazil, and my portuguese is minimal at best, I was touching down in Rio, where the chicks speak the international language of money, so I really didn't view it as a real necessity to learn, but my trip to Fortaleza, and this one to Bahia has learned me that a little portuguese is necessary off the beaten path..

I'll fare well in Sousa I guess, if not, i'll just ask for the chicken... 8)

Oh yeah, I ran into another slight problem...

Now, American (TAM's US Partner) can't get me back to DC from Miami until sometime on Tuesday, so it looks like I may have to stay an extra night in the DR..

not a problem for me, but my job isn't going to like hearing how my passport was stolen (then subsequently turned in to the US Embassy) in Brazil (or atleast that's the lie i'm going to use).. LOL

Life is good... not being able to get me back home is never a problem for me, I can see if I was stuck in Minnesota or some shit...

Just got off the phone with Diego. $35 for main building. Less at guesthouse rooms across the street.

I like this guy. He definitely has a great attitude! SA, have a great time and let us know the rates the hotels charge you. I leave in three weeks, and STILL don't have lodging. Welcome to the board!!
