$14 an eight-ball last time I was there, or so I hear, anyway.

It is a beautiful old colonial city with neat forts where they used to try to fend off pirates, but there is, of course, a substantial impoverished population, and lots of them try to make a living off the tourists who arrive. When I went to the beach there once, I was immediately surrounded by people trying to figure out a way to sell me something. In certain districts, at night you can't walk a few yards without being offered coke.
