Slept in and just made it to breakfast at 10:30am, but turns out that everyone else meandered in even after us, but they appear to be used to it here as breakfast continued to be served. Then we just walked around the main street, full of shops and restaurants, and while the city has about 8000 full time residents, our tour guide said that there are about 500,000 tourists. Well, not quite, but it was very busy and congested. There was a gypsy woman who walked up to us sending love and good luck, but we said we did not speak Spanish and just kept walking. The truth is we could not understand everything she said and after 4 bookstores we were able to find a small Spanish-English, English-Spanish dictionary. We have been studying and looking up many words as there are not as many people here who speak English as we would have thought. In fact, many more people in China spoke English than we would have imagined and more than South America so far.

At the tourist info we met a lovely woman, Lucy, who recommended this evening’s restaurant, Il Baretto, a lovely Italian cuisine. Again, early bird special for us with 20% discount here, and prices already reasonable. Prior to dinner we took a taxi to the Ralli museum in the Beverly Hills area which has a collection of Latin American Modern art and includes many works by Salvador Dali. Ralli museums also exist in Santiago, Chile, Caesarea, Israel, and Marbella, Spain.
