    Cataract Surgery

    Motorcycle Registration

    This was in Santiago. There was a girl who took pictures of the bikes before you went to the office. There was no riding around cones involved. I was told that it will cost 2500 pesos if you do the process after the final date which was the 15th. The day before I went a guy got there early and...

    Cangrejo bridge closed due to major structural failure.

    I just came up from Tamboril to Sabaneta. It was grueling and busier than normal I picked lunchtime so that there would be less heavy equipment.
