Okay, I understand, but the notion of the empanada-truck laundry is still funnier.
(Man. I'm getting too weird even for myself. I wish March would hurry up and get here.)

The Chinese virus infected the Western world with Chinese-style totalitarian politics. - Gladiator
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken
For some reason, they only want to book thru booking.com
Just booked my room for my November trip and found it interesting that I was allowed to only reserve my room using a credit card, with payment, presumably in cash, to be made on arrival. Don't know if that is the booking site's thing or the hotel's preference.
Calypso is where I stayed on my only time going to BC. Toro was also there at the same time for a few days. It is a 3 story (I think) hotel about a 2 block walk just north of the eastern end of Duarte. Has good sized rooms, queen beds, balcony (my room faced the street in front.....a little noisy at night, would recommend a room toward the back away from the street) a big pool and a key type safe.
When I was there in March of '12, I paid $45 a night. Wasn't a great hotel, but the location relative to Duarte and the beach, was very convenient. Could walk to the Boathouse in a few minutes.
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

That was the start of a 2 week trip then. I was at the Calypso from about the 16th thru 19th or something like that before heading up to the north coast to finish my last 10 days.
Guess we just missed each other or were there at the same time and didn't know it!
I'll be back in BC from Sept 8-12, reserved at the El Gaucho Hotel. $35 a night. Even though yayow isn't running his bar anymore, he'll be freed up to hang there, or wherever, with him back in retirement mode, so I hope to catch up with him for a beer or two.
Come on down if you can make it.
Another great stay
Hey there is my room in the corner....That's the suite for $62.00.....I was happy with that room. Nicer bed than the regular rooms and bigger overall room. Jimmy loved watching soccer on my couch
I would open up my curtains at 11AM bleary eyed and Jimmy would be down at pool with his harem waving at me
If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..
