the twilight zone was Charles Bronson and Inger Stevens or Elizabeth Montgomery, forget which. It was dead but not quite THAT dead. The McDonalds was open and the Campo chicken thing, as well as Manolitos AND Manolo's. Del Rey had a dozen girls hanging out at the side bar, a few known Columbianas. Few gringos. Back to half normal tomorrow. Fine with me. Also the busses don't run good friday. there were enough cabs for the few customers intersted. Bilko out.

in 1952 macdonalds had only one size of fries, which was small. this thread should have been in the roll calls , and turn back the clock section. the old adage be prepared, no alcohol sales for x amount of hours, go buy some before they stop selling :roll: its slow down there enjoy most people are in in a hurry for there own funerals. pura vida

Am I prepared? I think so, but I actually think no one can be totaly prepared. Notes? How about a 10 page word document. It will be fun and full of surprises.

Thanks to all for the info I received during the past 2 months.

Things seem to be back to normal now. Just came from downtown. All casinos, resturants and bars are open along with most of the shops on Central. Did notice that the Spoon was not open nor was Lehmans bookstore - but Universal and Clarion were.
The bad luck I had, I kind wish the casinos were not open. Not!

PS: Streets are still relativly quite - not much traffic. Guess many are still at the beach.

Thanks Steve, kind of noticed the same thing. In Sabana Sur Universal was open but Yamuni was closed as was Digital Mania.

Went to Multi Plaza and off course all the shops were open and everything in the food court including Spoons. At the movie Aviator and Million $ Baby were gone (there last weekend) and instead had mostly K*D stuff (Mary Poppins) and young people stuff (Robots).

The nice thing :?: Did not see a chocolate bunny, a marshmallow chick, a jelly bean or dyed egg anywhere. :lol: :lol:
