Saturday, October 28
We went down early for another good breakfast. I had the pancakes, which were not even close to pancakes. Luckily, there were plenty of other items on the buffet to suplement the crepe-ish pancakes. After breakfast, we went out to the local mall/outlet center to do a little shopping. We found some nice souvenirs to bring back.
I should note something here about the weather. Yes, it is rainy. Yes, it is cloudy. But overall, it has been very nice. It has not rained hard enough to stop us from going out, and the temperature has been very nice the entire time.
But if you listened to the locals, you'd think we'd entered a new ice age over here. Maybe they think that America is all sunshine and warm weather, but many people have apologized about the cold temps. Not only that, but every single building seems to maintain a 75F internal temp. We go out in a long sleeve shirt and a rain jacket, and both of us are sweating up a storm within five minutes. I thought they kept their houses cold and wore sweaters! Anyhow, people must think we are Eskimos, because everywhere we've gone, we are down to our t-shirts and still sweating, and they are all bundled-up in their sweaters.
Back to the trip: After the trip to the mall, we stopped in at the pharmacy to get some cough medicine for yours truly. The bug that was sneaking-up on me the day before got me in a headlock this day. We went back up to the room where I swigged the syrup and rested. Medina hit the streets for a little more shopping, and brought dinner back to the room.
I was feeling better by the time she got back, so we ate, had tea, and went out for a walk. We saw quite a bit of the town, and did a little more souvenir shopping. After that, I was ready to sleep. So we uploaded a few more pictures and hit the hay.
