Everyone Loves a Party


We were unexpectedly invited to two parties today after classes. One was with a family next door to the school. It was short, but quite nice. We met a young couple visiting for the day. The second gathering was much larger, with singing and a birthday cake. On our way back to the hotel, we travelled through one of the market areas in a part of the city that does not see many tourists. I always enjoy the opportunity to experience these areas.

One of our teachers took us to a favorite seafood cafe for lunch. He ordered for two and the three of us didn't eat everything provided. Salad, fruit, fries, fish, shrimp, and something like a sardine with a mean face for us all was about $15. Another bargain, the ten minute taxi ride back to the hotel for only $3!
