When I entered the office there was one woman seated behind a desk assisting a gringa. Wihin five minutes I was seated in front of the desk, the woman looked over the paperwork I submitted, filled out a couple of forms, took my FM3 visa, and instructed me to return the following Monday to retrieve my updated FM 3. I was in and out in twenty minutes. [...] [...] That’s the experience reported by You Know Me, in his Mérida based blog, Ruminations of an Expatriate.

I think. Actually the statue is in Split, Croatia and is of a Bishop Gruger (the spelling is phonetic). Passersby rbu one of the statue big toes for good luck so it is polished bright.

At least I am able to add my own header photo to the template I'm using. Switching and looking around the WordPress site and links has encourage my interest in html and other web publishing tools. What font do you recommend? I'll have a look around to see if I can change it. John was a bit stiff the day we had the picture taken, perhaps owing to the fact that he'd been dead for 20 or so years. He did have a healthy bronze glow though. Saludos El Macho,

I was getting tired of those imaginary columns or whatever they were that Google provides. The photo with John Lennon is excellent too. The Times Roman type is not so good, but at least its legible.
