US Embassy hosts Town Hall meeting E-mail
The News - Latest News

By ENCOR
   On Monday, May 5, the United States Embassy hosted their annual Town Hall Meeting in Rio Dulce. 
   embassyFive consular officers were able to escape the normal, grueling Monday morning routine in the city compound, and bravely ventured to our scary paradise.  Lighten up, just kidding.
   Barbara Armstrong, who holds the #2 slot, introduced her team, which included the main people you, as a
U.S. citizen, would most likely ever deal with.  David Lindwall and David Schensted in the Amcits section gave us a most interesting view of Guatemala, from their perspectives.  Good info and statistics on crime, remittances coming in from the states to family members here, number of passports they processed last year (3000 !)

   Lawrence Woody is in charge of security, and Maria Marta Giron helps us get our social security money....both good people to meet.  They brought information regarding lawyers, medical services, residence requirements and applications for those wishing to vote in the coming presidential election.
   They suggest that anyone who is having loved ones come visit, should go to www.travel.state.gov  for current advisories here (or any country, actually).   Another good tip is for those with cell phones to put the Embassy Emergency number in:  2331-2354, and if you drive, road assistance is available by calling ProVial at 2422-7878, and also put in Asistur, the
tourist help people 2421-2810.
   Thanks go to Kevin and Louisa at Hotel Catamaran for once again making their facilities available.

Emy's Pizza now Ricky's Pizza E-mail
Features - New Arrivals on the Rio Dulce

ricky's pizza
  Emy's Pizza is going to change it's name.
   But that's all that will change.
   The popular pizza parlor in Fronteras will now be known as Ricky's Pizza due to a legal conflict with another pizza place of the same name elsewhere.
   "Their lawyers told me if I continued using the same name, I'd have to pay them a bunch of money," owner Rick Vera explained. "I decided it'd be much cheaper to just change the name to "Ricky's Pizza"."
   Nothing else will change, he assures his customers. 
   "We'll have the same ownership, the same employees, the same menu and the same quality," he said.
    Not hungry for pizza today? Try one of Ricky's daily specials, including an excellent lasagna.
And they'll also prepare special event cakes and other desserts.
   Delivery? Of course! Ricky's will deliver pizzas and daily specials anywhere by land in Fronteras as well as to the "other" side of the bridge.
   Call ahead at 7930-5814.  If you're anchored out or staying at a marina without road access, you can dinghy up the creek behind his place and he will bring the pizza down to the creek.
