Today i emerged from the hotel on my own for the first time! that sounds so lame, but it took me awhile to feel comfortable enough to do this. we were not sure initially about safety and all that. I didn't go far- just a block, but it was still kinda cool. I was out of snacks here in the room, so i needed to go to the Mini-Stop to buy more. i went over there, and started picking stuff out, before i realized i didn't have any money! so, feeling a little sheepish as the Security guard watched me put stuff back i went to the closest ATM and got some money. I'm finally getting the hang of the pesos/dollars conversion in my head to be able to know what i am paying. That's pretty cool too. So, i went back and got some snacks, some decaf coffee (YAY!), and some ice cream- youll see that in my next post. Other than the ice cream adventure, i didn't do much else today. i read some of my book (Dexter in the Dark) and took a nap. Then, when Scott came home, we were starving, and so we went to a pizza place around the corner. we got 2 small pizzas- Quattro Formaggio and Lotsa Meat. They were yummy. i still haven't tried the local beer, San Miguel, but Scott seems to like it. :-)
