i like to hang out at the casino at hotel jaragua. i play blackjack. if you follow the basic rules in blackjack you can be there for hours. it's air-conditioned, well-lit, the people are friendly,........make your bets in pesos, the minimum amount, and it's like bingo, takes forever...the gift shop there has american and english newspapers........you get free drinks while your at the table.............go to plaza central, to the movies, they're in english...........going to the bank always takes a couple of hours..........go to the dentist and have your teeth cleaned, 8 bucks US,......good luck,,,,,,,michael lesawyer
