29 June
We’re still
in San Vicente. This morning we had to
take the obligatory trip into town. We
rode in a small Toyota pickup truck complete with hand holds, cost 25 cents. Here’s the church and the “world famous”
tower in San Vicente. The clock tower
was closed for climbing up the stairs, due to a prolonged painting project of
the tower.
We also went to the town’s
“Mercado” where Sandra bought a hammock.
As soon as she made her purchase we had to get out of there, because
there were too many people.
We stopped
at several hardware stores to see if they could cut a key (Roger had misplaced
his key on the other key ring.)
Unfortunately they couldn’t. The
good news was that Sandra got more “gigi’s” which to the tune of 2GB of phone
internet data for $10. She is an
Internet data piglet, to say the least.
Throughput is a challenge, and a lot of places only sell in terms of MB
for “navigacion.” The things we take for
granted. We also stopped at Pollo
Campero, for breakfast (again), so Sandra took advantage of the free wi-fi Internet.
For lunch we
had pupuso’s again. They are made with
Harina de Arroz (rice flour), and then you can request cheese, frijoles, chorrizo. They are cooked on a hot propane heated
griddle. The lady was very nice in explaining
how she makes puposo’s.
Another nice
day in the pools, but we are ready to resume our trip south tomorrow.
