It was kinda chilly today. So it was a good day to get a few things done and explore town a little.
Allow me to define chilly: the need for a long sleeve t-shirt with my sandals and shorts. Too cool to sit almost naked and wet on the beach. Boohoo, I know, I know.....
So I started by painting. I'm working on some alpacas for alpaca farmers who were at the farm Christmas craft sale with alpaca wool products. They liked my cows, and goats, and sheep. And said they'd buy an alpaca painting if I made one.
Then breakfast at Sylvia's. I was the only client at the time, so I got my favourite table, and got to spread out to study my Spanish. I like doing that there because Sylvia helps me with words and grammar sometimes. And I've been teaching the staff, Samantha and Guadaloupe, some useful English words. Samantha is very enthusiastic about it. That makes me feel good.
Then I cycled around town for a while, and poked around in some stores. I couldn't help myself! There are so many beautiful and fun coloured things! I bought a scarf (yes, like a winter one), a cup, a toothbrush, a dishcloth, and some reusable grocery bags!

3 and 4. These are houses right beside each other. The contrasts between rich and poor here is pretty big sometimes.
