Our Man in Antigua

so, the recent bun/rock fight between two different ‘classified’ FB sites? one is the original, the other the ‘real’ site…who cares? are they fighting over market shares? where’s the money, honey?
a lot of old/white turistas in town..Alex Long packed a tour bus with some today..and the latest gastronomical rage? ribs…more and more places going that route, figuring that if one (Pappy’s)can do it, they can siphon off some biz..fuggedabout…Blake aka Pappy’s has the lock.
so, if I seem to have fallen down on the job lately, remember…I’m retired ergo no job..I do this when I feel like it (or not) and I’ve been going back in time and working on Ponzi Bob and the River of Scum..probably out by the end of the year.
yeah, I’ve gotten over the non-performance of the ‘Captain’…JR has a great off-road Jeep and we’l probably do more adventures later..if you’re around La Taverna tonight, expect the usual Friday night watering hole of the ‘unindicketed co-conspirators’..I was but now I’m not…got some firewood, a good book and zero motivation.
that Spanish paella place on 6th ave norte? went to offering breakfast (paella pancakes?) and now? hamburgers and a happy hour…drum roll..a couple other places that way offering breakfast and no, I don’t know why…Jardin Bavaria and Los Tres Tiempos…people…its Pollo Compero, Burger King or McD’s..either that or a comida tipica off the back of the pickup..
and what was La Canoa? now a ’boutique’ called Los Olivos…why do tuk-tuks travel in packs? spread out and catch some rides, idiots..and the lovely Tanya Hughes is back, for a few more weeks…pulling some shifts at the Exit Inn. Und zo…the last of the usual winter birds are back…the last, not seen, would be Hogan and maybe Hap..speaking of returning, Portillo the ex-Prez, returns in March…clean, sober, rehabilitated and ready to run for office..Prez again? why not? it’s Chinatown…no, Guatemala, Jake….’love this country, I do..
