my new office .... not bad as long as i can find some shade ! ... sat out here awhile this morning and worked on my blog ....
then went looking for a $3 breakfast on the back street. i found one; i don't know why i just can't stomach eggs at a restaurant here :( ..... and i had some kind of juice that i cannot identify; and i'm not sure if i liked it or not :)
then went to the ATM to get money out to pay for my cruise .... but, the ATM wouldn't complete my transaction ... again. so i had to truck to the other end of the Malecon to the bank and wait in line ... they had all us 'foreigners' in a separate line, with one teller open. the guy at the window was having problems cashing his Travelers Checks .... imagine that. i never bring Travelers Checks for that reason. :(
went home, laid down, and took a nap .... not sure why :~ ...except that i didn't know what to do .... ?
i finally decided to at least go to the beach, a close one. there is a beach, Playa Estation on the way to the Darwin Center.... i still love these trees .... i guess they aren't finished blooming on Santa Cruz ...
i got in and snorkeled for awhile, but i didn't even take my camera, and didn't see anything new. i got out and sat under the shade of the tree, nice breeze, quiet .....
and then the families with their kids started showing up. it was time for me to go ... but there were 3 little ones playing at the edge of the surf, ....
and each time a wave came in, they giggled and scrambled back up shore .... i was entertained for awhile ... the little girl in pink was just as cute as she could be, and that is a BLONDE Barbie Doll that she is holding by the hair! .....but i finally 'forced' myself to leave :)
sat in park again with pretty good WiFi service for an hour or so ....
then i noticed a guy with a cart selling sandwiches .... i think it was a pork roast, and he cut nice pieces off and put them in a nice bun ... it was the best meal i've had in a few days ... $3 ... then down the street to a guy that was selling watermelon slices for $1 .... that finished off my 'dinner'
stopped at 'super' market and found some wonderful 7grain bread YEAHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!! ... and a coke for my rum .... :)
when i got back home .... people were in the reception area with their iphones, ipads, etc. ..... WiFi was back up :) ... spent 2 hrs out there, frustrated at losing the signal and the slowness of it .... but it was nice sitting here rather than in the park with the mosquitos :)
they had some 'God-Awful' spanish reality show on the TV, blaring .... i finally turned it off when they cleared out ...
still unbelievably hot in my room ....
