It’s a long walk across town, but worth every step. Yesterday I visited the Templo de Santa Lucia, Templo de Santa Domingo and the Templo de San Cristobal in the morning. It really was a lot of ground to cover, but I saw many interesting shops and even had a $2 Cappucino with Crème de Cocoa in it. Though you should mind the restaurants, unless you see a cappuccino machine or coffee maker, steer clear of the coffee…usually instant will be served.
In the afternoon, some of us met for lunch at a restaurant I think it was called La Planchilla. Me and my friend Vicky shared this $20 monster plate of meat. It had pork chops, ham, beef, shishkabob, sausage, chorizo and a baked potato on it. More food than two people can eat. When describing how much food the waiter says things like, “Dos hombres, dos mujeres (two men, two women) as a way of saying men eat more women less etc. For dessert we had Dulce de Limon y Manzana which turned out to be an apple and lime meringue pie that blew any key lime pie I ever had out of the water. After lunch I sauntered off to the Catedral de San Cristobal. It is in the main plaza of the town, which is the central social hub. There were street vendors with candy, others with various foods, and even more with clothes and various crafts. I checked out the cathedral interior and it was beautiful. I didn’t get any interior pictures because it felt like one of those places that doing so would just be way off base with everyone there.
Before leaving the plaza, I had dinner at this restaurant just upstairs from the central archive. I ordered Enchiladas Verde at the price of $5, which is very reasonable for a dinner. They almost were worth it, but then for $5 you may expect an extra value meal at Wendy’s or something. It was a nice day overall, and I had a pleasant evening.
