Town Day

We had a lazy day. The Hotel La Union will let you use their pool and facilities for a fee of CUC10/day. And we had decided that this was what we hoped to do. Turns out this includes CUC7 for food/drink, and three for the pool. So we were set.

But this morning, we set out on our now-routine rounds of the internet places for our now-common expressions of regret that they have no cards, so we can't use the computer terminals. At times, this feels like the internet is biggest thing I have given up to come here.

We had heard that there was a farmers' market in town, so we set out to find it. And we did, about two blocks from the centre of town, inside an old warehouse. It was great, including meat and beans and flour, alongside the usual fruits and veggies. We ran into Fabio and Fabiagles at the market, probably buying some of what we will have tonight. Then, walking further down the street, we saw a Mercedes dealer! That, I had to take a picture of.

 Then back to the Hotel by the long route, and we settled into a day of sitting by the pool, with Bob admiring the young women coming and going. Bob even went for a swim a few times.

A lazy, but nice day. The weather was cool this morning, but hot by noon. When we arrived back at the casa at four, the power was off, so it was actually quiet. (relatively).
