I had been priming my tastebuds for the tour-guide dinner at Carumba's for a couple of weeks. When I got in on Thursday, I went for dinner, and they are closed until September 12. Business is pretty slow, and lots of places either have closed up for vacation until things get better, or, like the Pier Lounge, are closing certain nights of the week. No shortage of good eats or places to go, but if you're counting on Carumba's...don't. Also the big internet cafe on Coconut Drive has been closed since I got here. FYI.

Now live from beautiful downtown San Pedro.
