Yes!! Sound off, DR!!! My advice would be to put lots of Juan Luis on your IPOD shuffle and don't come without it ! I would also recommend that you bring a headlamp - camping style- for walking on streets and sidewalks the
that often have gaping holes and no lights.
And read the article I wrote on first arriving here, three years ago.
