The video is an excerpt from our Sat market scavenger hunt. (Paul`s looking for a live piglet, I think.) Imagine the Ferry Plaza market with raw sewage smell, bootleg Spanish DVDs and a shantytown vibe...
I`d planned a weekend outing to a hotel in town but a combination or poor Spanish and vacation disregard for specific dates screwed up the itinerary. Friday was the Latin Father`s Day, which we were reminded of with the 3-5AM wake-up call of fireworks, music and a local personality wishing us all Feliz Dia del Padre over a megaphone. My plan was to get away for the weekend to Hotel Aurora, a hook from a teacher friend whose husband is from Antigua, but I reserved Sat and Sun instead of Fri and Sat. The blessing in disguise is two rooms for the price of one tonight, sleeping on comfortable beds in unfathomable privacy. (See Day Two notes...)
The kids are watching Meet the Fockers in their room (we saw Back to the Future 2 nights ago at a cafe movie night). Not quite the colonial Spanish immersion experience we´d characterized earlier.
Paul promises to deliver the next entry.
