We ran some errands in the afternoon (Sim card, bank, etc). We stopped by a bakery called El Buen Pastor where the profits provide a home for 50 neglected young girls. In addition to shelter they also provide them with an education and skills training, etc. I’m sure we’ll be back.
We are staying at a cool little hotel called Hotel Terra Viva San Blas. Everyone here is extremely nice. We should have a nice couple of days here as we get acclimated to the altitude. They have a beautiful garden, we just hope it’s warm enough to sit outside.
Traffic here is insane. Most sidewalks can only fit one person. The only thing between us and the cars’ sideview mirrors seem to be about 8 inches. Love those small narrow streets though. So much fun to walk even if it’s difficult breathing.
Toughest part so far is having to abstain from alcohol to avoid getting altitude sickness. There’s a big glass of wine waiting for us when this is all over!
I can’t believe cars go on those narrow streets. You guys look happy, even without the wine. How are you making out with the language? I got your phone number, thanks…Have fun

It’s a mix of English and Spanish. Not a problem.
