Same here, but the place always looks "lived in". Apparently they're open evenings 4pm-2am.

Maybe the Vandenbergs will do us a review. :biggrin:

When I lived in La Paz I never saw it open either :lol:

There are two "Irish" pubs within spitting distance of my fiance's place in TJ - Pub de la Chapu and the new Irish Living across from the Club Campestre. Both are small, loud and not terribly Irish, but I give them a B+ for effort. Given the exchange rate I will probably spend St. Paddy's down there - report to follow (hic!) :cool:

We'll be celebrating at La Sociedad de Vecinos' St. Paddy's gig (or should that be a jig?) here in Punta Banda with our fellow local Nomads.

Tomorrow I hope to hoist the nectar in honor of me great grandda, Pvt. Pleasant Neal, Co. C, 3rd NC, CSA. I'm on my way next weekend to spend a week in Emmitsburg, MD with a side trip to Gettysburg. This has reawakend an interest in geneology last visited before there was an internet. Now I know more than ever about where he was. His regiment was part of Steaurt's Bigade, Johnson's Division, Ewell's Corps and fought alongside the 2nd MD, CSA, at Culp's Hill. To say fighting was intense is an undertatement. 2/3 of Pleasant's regiment was wiped out, he was wounded and captured but survived the war. He was twice a rebel, being obliged to leave the old sod circa 1850 to avoid a hemp necktie when the Black and Tans found a stash of muskets in his pig sty.
Slainte, Pleasant!




All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.
