A week into San Pedro..approaching it from quite a different angle than many Ive met (in fact most ex pats here) yet loving it just the same. Been keeping quite busy and havnt had time to kick back with a bevvy much at all. The local people are (for the most part helpful), caring and funny. The landscape (backdrop to the party) is amazing..gorgeous Lake flanked by 3 volcanoes. Spanish is improving every day which is good, as it seems to take up most of my time tying to learn to speak it! Scored a job in a little cafe run by an Israeli couple making felafels y hummus. Pay covers my room each day I work and I get to eat and drink whatever I want..including water...this is good. Been staying with a local family who provide me three (big) meals a day consisting of mostly meat (chicken or fish) and rice, handmade in front of my eyes every before every meal maize tortillas and some veges. Still another week to go with them, then find a room for a couple more I´d say...
I can see why its easy to get stuck here.
