I started today by helping Alfredo to transplant a palm tree for his house - very domestic and nice. It's interesting to compare gardening knowledge/techniques.
Then I walked for a few hours, as is usual so far. I like the touristy areas, but I also like to see the more "real" areas in order to better understand the area, country, and people. It's easy to check out the real areas here cause the city is fairly small and its very safe. The things I saw that were of particular note were an outdoor squash court, a taco making business, some street repair guys, and a cute art shop.
At lunch, I experienced a "weirdness" . I was alone at a table in a small, non-tourist type restaurant. Two people just sat down with me to order and eat their lunch. I guess its a normal practice cause there was another table that seemed to have a "composite" group of patrons. The weird thing was that my "guests" just kept to themselves. They asnwered the few questions that I asked them, but didn't try to talk otherwise. I guess beause of teh language barrier and their personalities. Oh well....
No swimming today, the ocean was too nasty. Apparently, there's been weather in the USA and we're feeling the effects.
