Sunday January 13

I slept until almost noon today, which was great. A few of us made the mistake of walking all the way into el centro (basically the historic district) to go shopping – we didn’t realize that everything is closed on Sundays. So we wandered around for awhile before going to the CIEE building, where we were supposed to go on a walking tour of the city. This was a bad idea for two reasons: bad weather (rainy and cold) and it was really unnecessary, seeing as we had already been in the city for about a week. Most of us already knew our way around…well, somewhat, anyway. So we went on a mini-tour and ended up on Avenida de la constitución, where everyone had chocolate (very different from America hot chocolate, chocolate here is almost as rich as a melted chocolate bar) and some people got palmeras (sweet pastries shaped like elephant ears) for dipping. Que rico.
