Sundays are slow days in each South American town we've visited thus far on this adventure. Everything is closed for a day of rest. Luckily I found a wonderful small shop with fresh fruits and veggies yesterday when I ventured out in the late afternoon drizzle, so we were well supplied today! We also stopped by the bakery across the street for a couple of yummy cookies full of Dulce de Leche, sweet milk. It's like caramel, but not exactly. You find it everywhere, at breakfast tables & in the markets where the peanut butter would be, if there was any to be found.
As the sun appeared this afternoon the lake turned bright blue. The wind has now died down, it's almost 8:30 pm, so tomorrow should be a glorious day to sightsee outside the city limits or even ride bikes.
There were windsurfers out riding the huge waves on the lake, they were very skilled and flew across the water. In the distance we saw large wings near the shore and then as we looked more closely coming from the middle of the lake. We walked over to the spot where the action seemed to be happening, but by the time we arrived there was not a kite in the sky. We are hoping to figure out what sport it is, kite surfing possibly! Very cool, to watch, not actually participate!
This is a picture of Keith on the street above the hotel where we are staying.
This was the view from our window as we enjoyed a chicken dinner with a nice salad & baked potato.
