Monday November 29 2010
Saturday we went to the Saturday Market, it was bigger than last week. Larry bought a pair of sunglasses, 50 pesos. I bought a box of Q-tips, 500 for 12 pesos. I also bought a small bowl to put under the cactus pot, 5 pesos.

Then at 1:00pm Larry said let’s go get something to eat. We went to the plaza and saw that Cocodrilo was closed. So we walked down to the next café that we like, but it was closed too.
We made our way back to the plaza and I am thinking “didn’t we do this last year too”. We ended up at Walla Walla’s. We split a hamburger and fries. Larry had coffee and I had limeade, all for 100 pesos.

Sunday we went to the plaza to check what the Cocadrilo had for the morning special, it was something we had not had before so we decided not to get it.

We sat on the plaza and watched the goings on at the free pet clink. They were giving shots to pets for mange.

Larry went to the fish market and bought a small serria and a papaya. A lady came to the door selling avocadoes, a bag of 8 for 10 pesos.

A one man band came marching by.
Monday morning we went to the plaza, we went to the bank to exchange large bills for smaller ones but the bank was full of people and would take an hour or more to get to the teller. We had decided to eat at the Cocadrilo but I started to feel stomach cramps and decided to go back home. Larry did stop to get another papaya.

We stayed close to home the rest of the day. In the evening just after dark the people across the street started signing. They have done this almost every night. Last year they sang but it was once or twice a month. They are a nice change from the loud music we hear on the plaza.
The street a block away has had all the cobble stones removed. We are not sure what they are going to put down, if they put new stone or asphalt. This is one of the main streets that go through San Blas.
