New Door!


We have new doors at Suryaluna! well new inner doors actually. its in the front area, where the reception counter is. Its pretty. Green stained wood with glass panels. Kinda feels like an English cafe from the inside for some reason. We had it put up to keep the cold and dust out. Its quieter too. Everything from the outside is kinda muffled...street sounds, dogs, people talking...its nice. The menus are still outside for people to see and there are a few curious passer-bys looking in. The guys who put them up worked all day yesterday. From about 9am to about 7pm. They brought the wood panel and put them up then went for a break, came back and did some painting on it, then the glass panels people came and put them up on the wooden panels The Suryaluna restaurant is a little bare cos we are doing some moving around for inspection...which i hope is really soon so we can get on with business. We got strips put on stairs for safety and extinguishers, oh and evacuation route signs all over the place, as needed..so we should be cool with everything when they come. I dont think the regulations are extreme here in Mexico, and so far from what i have seen in San Miguel de Allende, its prety easy to open and run a business here..provided there are tourists and the locals come out to eat, etc. I heard that business has been dropping since the local governing body here took Pamplonada out. Its the bull run here in Mexico. It used to bring it tonnes of tourists which is what this place needs. Anyways, we have to get some stuff for the door, for safety, light or the outside and also a sign that says: WE ARE OPEN! :) hmmm...am thinking of doing something for Valentine's Day...with the doors, theres lots of potencial...hmmmm
