zo, about 9 or this morning in the park up walks the ‘Perfesser’ Mike Donley…surprise! he got in last night from a hellacious 5000 mile+ drive from the YouEss, thru Mexico and here…$$$ for gas, tolls, import duties…nope,he wouldn’t do it again, if you wondering but he’ll have a ’05 Ford truck 4×4 for sale in the fear nuture.
the shifting tides of Antigua bars/restaurants continues….Reilly’s La Esquina seems to be eating up the competition in that part of town…o that’s right, Mito’s…please, especially on Sunday afternoons. No, I never did see the ‘corn hole game’ but Blake of Pappy’s BBQ might have taken over…and since I’ve quit doing the monthly article/reporting gig, I’m outta that loop except for a ‘cultural experience’.
Cultural? yeah, after sending a ‘scout’ who put the location on the his Garmin GPS device and hearing from two or three knowledgeable locals about it, last night..yeah, right, that place in Joco that that ends with ‘2’…..actually decent, a clean, dimly lit place. With the return of Mike D, I suspect it’ll be necessary to return, with HBT/Dr J, of course….this is field research, damn it. Jason Lever, partner in Lava, is back but hasn’t really surfaced…you know, there’s women to catch up with. There might be a 2nd year thing at Lava this week, assuming that he can come up for air before then…I heard Wednesday from Shaun…and that new ‘beach concept’ place in the Ocelot patio? sucking….dumb…the new partner has got to be scrachting his head after…scratching, right, after the initial excitement wore off, the bills piled up..
Acatenango this morning? nope, it was Fuego and fooled a lot of us(some easier than others)it was the ash cloud that blew north, mostly intact for a while. And yes, Rich and Maria Neel are in Leon, Nicaragua…Rich probably ‘did’ the Flor de Cana’ distillery today, so who knows how long it’ll be before they leave for Granada…I’d love to have breakfast at Kathy’s Waffle House there again…Micho’s had a decent breakfast for awhile and now they’re advertising lower priced specials…WTF is going on there? is that the new partner I see, passing out flyers around town? oops…and thank you, Amazon.com for sending in the monthly trickle of $$..after the expenses of last night at #2, they’ll sort of cover it…www.amazon.com/author/michaelsherer is the link, just in time for Christmas shopping.
