Friday Picnic and Saturday Wild Goose Chase

The weather lately has been gorgeous again. Highs in the 70s and sunny during the day, Lows in the low 60s at night. Yesterday, after we finished our first nine weeks of school, we celebrated with a picnic. We had sandwiches, fruit, chips and juice. Then we just hung out outside for a lot of the afternoon.



Today we took care of chores in the morning, and after lunch, headed out to find La Pena de Sol Latino. It's a restaurant, but today it was hosting a show of traditional folk dances. I'd read about it in our local tourist magazine. The kids weren't that excited about it, but I thought they'd get into it once it started. Unfortunately, when we arrived, nothing special was going on. We were definitely in the right spot, but the hostess had no idea what I was talking about. She told us about a festival in another part of town, which was sort of on the way home. We walked over to the festival, but it was mostly local vendor food (which we don't eat as a general rule of thumb). We did, however, see a really pretty old church, so we took a picture. We also took a picture of the festival with a tuk tuk in the foreground.
