Although heavy trucks are banned on the bridge in front of the Forum on the San José - Caldera, in Santa Ana, the foto is evidence that no one seems to care, even the Tránsito patrols. The bridge is located 200 metres east of the bridge that was taken out by a big truck last Monday. [Foto taken Sunday 13 June 2010 at 9:19am] |

AMERICAS
OAS Debates Same Old Problems, Few New
Solutions

Organisation of American States, held in the
Peruvian capital last week, failed to issue
a decision on the reinstatement of Honduras,
and instead served as a forum for Argentina,
which seeks sovereignty over the
Malvinas/Falkland Islands, and for Bolivia,
in its fight for access to the Pacific
Ocean.

So,
What
Are
We
To
Do
Now?
Closing
the
San
José

Caldera

but
what

now
to
do,
go
back
to
the
old
road,
the
monte
de
Aguacate
or
the
Cambronero?
No
way,
I
think
I
will
stay
home
until
they
re-open
ruta
27
completely. |
