| As of August 23,
drivers on the road through San Luis to Tronadora are reveling in
straight-line driving, at least until they get to the Chimurria junction.
Heavy machinery and industrious crews have ripped up much of the old
pot-holed asphalt and laid down a wide, smooth gravel surface. It
seems likely they'll reach Tronadora by the end of the week. Whom
do local residents have to thank for this sudden brightening of their
driving lives. Perhaps instrumental was the month-old threat by Tronadora
residents to blockade the road to Arenal as well as Tronadora wasn't
|
soon repaired.
Also industrious are Arenal
developers, who have big plans for an expatriate population explosion.
Fuentes Verdes members started a tally of all the lots being created
by developers around the lake and got to 404 before they ran out
of fingers and toes. Recently a local taxi driver pointed to a location
in San Luis which he hears will be the site of what sounds like
a strip mall. Is there a Starbucks in our future? An Olive Garden?
