Many thanks for the info. I have a family reunion coming up soon in SJO organized by an old bittie of an aunt from the DFW area. I thought everyone would be staying well away from "the gulch" as in times past - wrong. I had to go online and recheck that Don Carlos was indeed across the street from the NF. I've never stayed at the place but I've done the "walk of s(h)ame to you" past it a couple of times under the watchful eye of the patrons having their "cafecito" on the balcony out in front. (Thanks again for the skinny on the place, I'll be sure to stay somewhere else when I go.) At first I was thunderstruck but then I couldn't stop laughing. (There's going to be a considerable amount of squawking coming from the DC in a couple of weeks...
