Saturday morning we had a nice sleep-in, relieved to have a break from school.
Mid morning we headed in to town seeking a book-shop and an Internet Café to check our email. (And get a good Coffee!) Found the Black Cat café just a block from the town square and had some brunch. I had an Omelet and Sarah had a breakfast burrito. Very nice food and Coffee but the service was non existent. The café was part of a hostel and an American girl was behind the counter. I had to go find her and drag her off the Internet to pay the bill when we were ready to leave. They did have wireless internet though so we got to update the blog.

We found a good bookshop a couple of blocks away and had a browse for a while and bought some postcards.

The town square had masses of market stalls being set up around it and the surrounding streets. They have a big market on the first Sunday of the month and this one is going to be even bigger due to the festival celebrating the Virgin Mary’s Birthday tomorrow. We had a walk around but not many stalls were open yet so we came back in the evening. It was very busy and exciting. Much like a large show with many food stalls and some dangerous looking rides.





We had some Pizza for dinner and then walked to the nearby Los Chocoyos Centro Cultural for a live music show we had seen advertised. The Centro Cultural turned out to be a bar but was quite a nice atmosphere, very open area with a decent stage. The act was a local band called Naik-Madera and they were quite good.
We were planning on taking a taxi back to the apartment as it’s not so safe to be walking the streets late at night but there were plenty of people around during the walk back.
