Richard took a walk through the town, mostly doing research. He found out the bus and pirata schedules to various destinations, and wrote them in his notebook. He spoke to a couple of cell phone shops, researching for his updated cell phone article. He also took a few photos, including one of a sign for an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. The AA group is called "Return to the beginning".
The photo below is our local internet cafe; it is the first bamboo internet cafe that I have seen.
Richard made a run to the Bodega (Walmart) in San Andres, including buying a juicer for oranges. An easy run on the bus. There is a guy down the street selling juice oranges, so Richard bought 50 oranges for 20 pesos (around $2). The vendor was giving away samples, figuring that a sample would make a sale, and he was right.
Late afternoon, Richard started planning, listing all the possible tourist activities that one might want to do in the area. With a little help, he identified 16 different activities. Not that we can or would do all 16, but it was good to identify the options, and prioritize them a bit. One of the options is to visit Talacotalpan, a world heritage site on the Paloapan river. Cliff and Monique came over, and they were also interested in the list. We plan to do some of these things with them, starting Saturday.
