After hanging around all morning at the hotel, doing this and that, I head out to the café again. I take a newspaper that I bought earlier in the morning and start to read it there. I want to order some yuca pancakes, but they’re all out of yuca. The only option is salad with a sandwich. I don’t feel like taking the guacamole sandwich again, so I opt for the egg and cheese (I’d love to see your faces while reading this). It takes some time for the food to arrive, because it’s quite busy in the café, so meanwhile Mariela has arrived and brings me the salad and juice. She asked me if I ordered anything else and when I say yes, she playfully slaps me in the face, because she’s convinced that the eggs are causing the acne I’m suffering from right now.
The rest of the afternoon I hang out with the people in the café. In the end we play a few games of rummy and when we are about to close, a girl and her father come in to look for a foreigner to do an English project with. It takes a while before the first lines are right (dad is recording), but then she tells me in a kind of English about her life. Afterwards, the father proudly shows me some pictures he took while he was in Amsterdam for a few hours and we close the café.
Day 20 - Follow-up
Later in the evening, I get a phone call from Riwal and Sarah. They are having a drink at Plaza Foch and ask me to join. I tell them I’ll be there in a half hour. M & M are there too. When we order, however, we discover that Plaza Foch is like Central Paris, where the drinks are very expensive. 3,90 for a beer is too much. So after one drink the 3 of us go for something to eat at Mongo’s. Irina told us it is a nice place where you can eat vegetarian as well. Just too bad the tofu tastes awful and all the rest is not well baked on the BBQ. But we have a drink with it and the dessert is enjoyable. After that, we say goodbye and we hopefully see each other again at Isla de la Plata.
