yeah, the 5th Annual Corn Hole Tourney’ not the 9th as I’d read it…either I need new glasses or a larger monitor…probably ‘C’…anyway, it was good to finally go up(and I mean up) to the Earth Lodge on Sunday…not well marked and a decidedly steep dirt path down (and back)….lotta locals…Billy Burns of Mono Loco, Matt of Old Town, Ron Fortin….probably all amazed that I made it up the path, without stroking out….it was a time warp, taking me back to my commune days of the late 60’s/early 70’s…very quiet, rustic and backpacker heaven…
so…the ‘Perfesser’, Duane, Jim O and Enrique left this morning, for parts semi-unknown…the NW part of Guate, upper Quiche…no maps, no reservations and so on…I sort of admire their perspicacity but on the other hand(five fingers)I never travel without a map, a guide book and my trusty Beretta…speaking of those, a huge tip of the panama to Lori Shea for finding me a gig (house sitting) in Rio Dulce for Semana Santa…I’m not telling where it is, per the possibility of..well, you know..but the photos/descriptions are way cool…ten days of bliss, I suspect.
speaking of bliss, there’s a move underway to take Epa, the Rubenesque waitress at La Taverna, to Divas soon…Hogan’s in on this, HBT might be involved…Hogan? leaves us late Wednesday, for a return to the States…so if you owe him money or vice verse, probably ought to catch him at La Taverna Tuesday night..’happy/slappy hour, and all that.
As Green as it Gets, their raffle this weekend at La Esquina? netted over 3500q!…yeah, I bought tickets but gave ’em to Franklin, head honcho….turns out that I won something…and the surprise of the week? a John Wilbur sighting Sunday, on my way t o Earth Lodge! coming out of Tre Fratellis, outer 6th calle…looked the same…pirate gleam…’miss him, I do..
