23:30
Yet again I have helped out in the lab.
By
lunch I had established that I was going to go to Malpais and some students
latched onto this, giving me a few extra errands. So before afternoon snack
Elias collected me at around 15:00, where we went to the local Ferreteria (no
not a place for ferrets but a tool shop) for a hammer (Martillo). Next I went
to the supermarket to get some of these colourful sheets/tapestries as gifts
for friends of Na and Em, and whilst bargaining with the vendor here I got
attacked by ants.

I
proceeded by getting more much needed ice-cream, then tried to sort out MS Word
licensing on a laptop for DL while doing some internet chores. 18:00 came about
very fast and it was time to meet with Elias, so I quickly bought what
phone/calling cards I could for the students.
Elias and I headed to Mary's Restaurant where we were due to have dinner
and on the way almost collided with a "wall" of dogs that were spread
evenly across the road. I thought we were going to hit them but apparently this
must be quite a normal thing to come across… a line of dogs strolling in front
of speeding cars.

This
restaurant was gorgeous with a great ambience and delicious food, I wish I knew
about this place earlier, although the cake dessert pushed me a little too far
- I was stuffed. We played some pool and shared a couple of drinks, then once
we returned to the park I joined Ca, Kat and Al on "Green Beach"
under the perfectly clear sky and milky way above us - a very relaxing end to
our evening.
