Well it was a pleasant solstice all around. After the sun set behind the volcano of fuego we wandered into a Spanish restaurant, and I have good news and bad news about the dinner itself. The good news was that they served red beans, and Liana LOVED them. I cannot tell you how sick I have become of black beans, and although I know that they will have to become somewhat of a staple in our diets, I cannot bear the thought of eating them twice a day! So we like red beans. Perhaps lentils too! The bad news is that Liana left the park with a full pair of shoes. A full pair, of course, consists of two shoes. When we arrived at the restaurant, sadly she was only wearing one shoe. We go through shoes like Imelda Marcos here.

After dinner we walked again in the park and ran into Santa Clause, as well as some friends from town. Then mommy was feeling festive, so we went out to listen to marimba and eat an overpriced brownie with ice cream.

Yup. We are on vacation now.
