It is always great see you commenting, Saluditos. Hola Terry

I like the craft vendors; in stores, in stalls, on sidewalks, and in the streets. I also like the clean streets. If you get up early enough you can see an army of jumpsuited men and women with a broom and wheelbarrow out sweeping the streets, picking up the thrash, getting things tidy for awhile. Oh and the bookstores, must be a dozen in the downtown area. Two things I don't like about the downtown area is the noisy, smelly buses constantly rumbling by and the ugliness that is the old Hotel Guarani. Peace, Terry Hola Muna,
