after getting out of town for a few days and seeing the real Guatemala, warts and all, I’m always glad to get back to this ‘adult-themed park’….reality, as they say, is for those who can’t drugs.
und zo, the amazing story of the short-lived ‘Guatemala Chho Choo’ is unravelling, thanks to a few of the people who were part of it, Mac, Bill and HBT…I’ll finish up by the end of the week and yes, another ‘only in Antigua’ story. HBT? doing very well, out there in the ‘village’ where he’s got things well under control. A clue…for dinner, with the usual great salad, there were six different choices for salad dressings…a few more pigs running around, a very bossy rooster and no gunshots in the night, not even mine. Restraint is a wonderful thing.
they come and they go…Crocodile Mike is back from Australia, Tall Bill leaves for a month and May will see the yearly departure of many, if not all, the 90 day visa people.. and…maybe, if rumor is correct, the possible return of one who was dragged off in handcuffs a few years ago, not to Antigua but in the vicinity. Clue #1…he resembles Ted Cruz in someways.
one good thing, that I enjoy about traveling with ‘what’s his face’ is that he’s a font of funny stuff…like the story that the Antigua City council actually owns a lot of commercial properties, which they rent out to friends for a very nominal sum…who then, in turn, rent them out at ‘market rates’ and spit the difference…split…a win-win for all except the new tenant…shocking! corruption and politics, hand in hand? and, alas, the last gig of Grace and Joe Lada this weekend…she’s gotten even more beautiful, if that were possible….Joe? nah..
