It's pouring outside right now so we might be stuck inside most of the day. Our host left umbrellas by the front door and there is a small family owned restaurant named Oswaldo's down the street so we won't starve. We've been there a few times and they wave to us when we walk by now. The home we are staying in is up a hill so you don't want to walk into town more than once a day. Oswaldo's has a grill outside and they specialize in tortas, big fat sandwiches with everything on it. The liquados are good too. The other day I was stung by a bee on my index finger as we were walking by Oswaldo's. We were going to stop by to get take out anyway so we asked them what to do about a bee sting. They immediately started chopping garlic and putting the juice on my finger. I left with a garlic ice pack plus the sandwiches and beer. Now I have to say the bee sting was particularly painful and by the time I got back up the hill it was somewhat better but when our host got out a paper towel with some vinegar and said use this that was what finally got rid of the sting. I'll have to remember that trick. Yesterday we spent a good part of the day walking around town and taking a second look at some of the old churches. This photo is from the front of San Francisco church and the outside is particularly nice. The statues on the inside are in good shape too. I guess at some point during the revolution many statues were damaged. Yesterday was strangely quiet around town. There were few tourists. It was slightly overcast with a few sprinkles here and there. We felt that we had the place to ourselves.
