After a hot shower I headed out to explore a bit. It was only 7:30 and there were few people up and about. When I thought I was headed to the dock, I found myself walking in a circle. At that point I decided to have breakfast before venturing out again. I found a small open air cafe and ordered huevas revueltas con frijoles. Another woman walked in and sat at an adjacent table. I asked if I could join her to pick her brain a bit. Larosa is a retired woodworker from Eugene, OR. She has been traveling and studying for three months with several more ahead of her. She highly recommended the hotel in which she had been staying, conveniently located 100 yds from the language school. After breakfast I stopped in to speak with the desk clerk. I asked about an individual room with private bath overlooking the lake. He showed me a lovely and spacious room opening out to a lawn overlooking the lake. Much to my surprise, there is also a TV. I haven't turned it and don't know if I will. The price is 120Q per day. While this is considered a bit expensive for San Pedro, it translates to about $15 per day. This is more expensive than the homestay as my meals will be an additional cost but I am feeling the need for more privacy than a homestay would allow.
The weather here is ideal. I hear it is snowing relentlessly in NY. It is already in the 70s here and only 10:00am
