Our Man in Antigua

damned ‘L’ keeps getting stuck….today is the day that this funny little country that I call home goes back to the polls again. Whoever wins will have an uphill battle, given that all the money has been siphoned off and most of the returning Congress are either under indictment/a cloud and still be pulling the strings…

Hap, Hogan and Joe Morgan heard from and I guess they’ll be returning in the next month of so….and yes, the ‘situation’ in Escuintla is gradually working itself out…time, $$ and help will eventually get ‘F’ outa the can but after that, who knows? or cares?

 Piano Mike, with Bobby D, seen…l.Mike said his daughter with the golden voice, Moriah, is getting married this weeking…maybe today (my memory, you know), to the Guate guy who races go-carts internationally, among other things, I know not what but Mike’s ok with it.

no liquor sales today! gotta keep the voters sober but what about the rest of us? why did I get into the rum at 2am?…this is gonna be brutal.

and, drum roll…starting tomorrow a new series of local articles starring the beautiful/talented Marbel…the paca and the mercado tomorrow!  ooh, nice melons, eh?

La Taberna has new tables/chairs…the wine bar next door gets a few customers, Choco museo packs ’em in, day and night…how? Mamma’s closed to the end of the month, vacation time and it’s time for the November updates of Our Man in Antigua…now in the 2015 edition of Moon Travel guide, Guatemala! fame and fortune? hah…where’s the rum?
