Yesterday, after a day of working at an excavation site, Hector graciously took us on a tour of the neighboring towns: Fortuna and Fajardo. We saw abandoned houses, two way streets that can only fit one car, and beautiful beaches. One thing that was interesting to me was how when we were at the bottom of the hill we observed small rundown houses, but as we asended the hill we observed large, new, and clean homes. Almost every house had bars on the windows, which all the locals use as a safety precaution. The higher we got up the hill we saw more wealth. Then we drove back to our rental house, stopping on the way for some Fanta sodas. When we returned home we were beat... the sun really fried us all. We realxed, then ate a delicious dinner of chicken with enchilada sauce, rice, plaintains, and salad. Skylar, James, Liam and Mike all went swimming in the neighborhood pool, and at night people either read a book or played a long card game of "Oh Hell." It was a tiring but really fun filled day.
