Well I never!

It's amazing that we're still getting about ten views a day on our blog!

Even though MarLou's Restaurant has been closed for over eight months now people are still looking for us on Google.

We're flattered and wonder what people are missing lol.

Whatever it is, we're sorry that Costambar didn't provide what we needed to make our life on this wonderful island of the Dominican Republic complete. We have moved on and have found our own slice of paradise in Sosua.

As I write this it has been thirteen days since the last powercut here. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Maybe it is all the money we're saving by living here AND having our garbage collected three times a week without fail for just RD300 a month.

Who knows!

Whatever it is, we're happy and settled into our new home and, profitable, business.

Our good friends also know that we're planning something big before Easter.

Watch this space!

Any Excuse for a Party Party

December is a busy month for birthdays & celebrations. Just in our little neck of the woods in La Mulata on Saturday 15 December we had the following to celebrate

Claude's birthday
Steven's birthday
Dan's birthday
Ross & Colleen's wedding anniversary
Maria & Wesley's first anniversary of moving here

So, being the bunch of party animals that we are, we had a party at Claude's Mercado.

Santa even stopped by so we could all have a rummage in his sack ...

MarLou's Ice Cream Flavours

Now we're getting a feel for our market, we think it's time to let you all know what flavours we're producing.

Of course we are always open to suggestions for new flavours which we can incorporate into our range.

So without further ado, here's the range:-

Vanilla:
The all-time classic, it goes with everything & is the basis of many delicious sundaes & Ice Cream Floats.









Caramel:
One for those with a sweet-tooth!

Chocolate:
Only weirdos like Louise don't crave this! .... I am so going to get into trouble for that.

Strawberry:
Fresh & creamy tasting, for those times you feel the need for something fruity.



Our ice creams are available in  16oz measures for RD150.

Discounts are  available for trade & larger quantities.
