if you’ve noticed, El Correo the postal service has closed their portals…the Canadians are trying to weasel out of their contract, the govt. doesn’t have any money but ‘they’ say they’re operate the postal service via the Ministry of Communications…so, will the 600+ employees get their jobs back?…hah. It is, in my opinion, just a sign of the times. Folks don’t write or read (did email play a part?)as they used to and none of it is cost-effective..for those who still need a local outlet/inlet, Caniz on lower 4th has improved.
starting Monday, for 3 weeks, the City will be closing various streets for two hours a day, while they catalog exteriors of buildings in town…color, design, additions…creating a database to keep things as they are, at least on the outside.
Michael Rayment is better, health-wise…Mike C, the X-man, leaves soon for a European jaunt, Tanya H is in Vancouver, having a big garage sale before she moves here, Marcel (Michos) throwing a cocktail/wine bash thursday @ 6p, Marvel the Magnificent scheduling another event, June 1, @ Vino y Baco 7pm (inside the Casa Fuentes on outer 4th calle.
And the new stuff in the Park is coming together nicely…the gringo benches seem to settled down a bit but there’s still some ruffled feathers…don’t ask, don’t smell, is my position..I’ve opted out, physically and mentally….’better things to do with my life, like an interview this weekend, the beach next week, El Salvador in 2 weeks, get the June edition of Our Man in Antigua-stan ready to publish soon and appreciate the recent rains and I’m getting used to the Kindle…a bit of withdrawal with no physical book in my hand but after a splash or two of rum, so? so what? have a great weekend, check your umbrella…I need a new one…
Our Man in Antigua
