how nice to have the town back again…gone are the tourists, the processions and the massive crowds (except for the dust). The new mayor is whipping on central park,with new fences, benches and a general hosing down of the vicinity…at last.
Nelson playing his brand of music at Casa Blanca, Vida Amor(la Prensa Libre)/’fiance’ checking out of there, Tom and Willie setting up at the Snug, MuLan packed….packed? Frank’s Cerro de San Francisco, for the Sunday buffet? 2 vans, 20 shiny cars and 120+ people!…five or so were gringos and the rest Chapin families…comida typico, of course but well done/served…the last section of the road still dusty (my eyes bitched)but the new mayor says she’s gonna have it ‘surfaced’ before the rains come.
ah, the return of the newly hipper Jackson…’just got one replaced in the US…late June, he says…good: the IQ level of the bench in the park is abysmal…the Marvelous Miss M’s dad died last week, as did ATF Gary (how I referred to him)..what stories he had
and no…no surprise…Mamma’s new location far from completion (still)..can you say ‘snail’s pace?’….if there were any snails here, for comparison…it’ll be interesting to see/count how many of the new ‘establishments’ stay open, after the crush ($$)of Semana Santa, und zo? it’s a glorious Monday…blue skies, sun, air relatively clear…go out and soak it up: that’s why we live here, no?
