Our Man in Antigua

in this case, hula hoops with a nail…if you’re looking, only Bodegona actually has hula hoops…whoopee, eh!

so? James Mullen, our heavy metal occasional visitor, is back for a few days/weeks (cheap air ticket) and was in the park with his lady from El Salvador…small world? she and I know Dan, of Lips, the biggest/best strip club in San Salvador (it was research, dammit) and I’ll be there in two weeks (research)…Personajes, next to the  Londoner, folded as the London Bridges whatever and is back to being Personajes…jeez, open an English themed bar next to an real English bar? only in antigua, I guess..

and yes, finally found/went by Da Vinci’s new location, up the street/north of El Cazadore Italiano…looks great but Luis Miguel has an eye for  style..

the govt post office, El Correo? opened again but for a few months..the Canadians want out of their unpaid contract, the govt says they’re ‘step in’, the international postal union requires that this silly little  country actually have a postal service..my suggestion? have the govt mail the paychecks of the congress bozos via the post office and see just how fast this mess gets fixed.

and if you’re lucky/early, go by El Sol and have the very lovely Maite personally make you an espresso…works for me..and the park project? moving along, an interview and more photos this morning, film at 11 and a great ‘only in Antigua’ article, coming soon, to a  drive-in, near you..
