The last few days have been spent lying in the sun, and discovering the best eateries in Santa Marta. On Tuesday nightt, two Norwegians from our hostel took us to a sandwich and smoothie shop called Lulo. The food was fresh and delicioius, and we went back for more on Wednesday as well. Nothing beats a fresh mango, papaya and pineapple smoothie and a mango salad with avocado on a hot day! Aside from a late lunch at Lulo on Wednesday, Ryan and I spent much of the day relaxing in the sun by our hostel pool. We also attempted to take another Spanish lesson, although that went horribly sideways. We had agreed to meet him at “cafe del parque”. We spent a good half an hour searching until we found Cafe del Parque, when the instructor had been waiting for us at Juan Valdez Cafe, the cafe near the park. It was all very confusing, to say the least. After missing our Spanish lesson, we set out to find children’s books in Spanish to help us with our reading and understanding. Everything here takes much longer than at home, so we burned a good chunk of time scouring the town. The hunt was successful though, and we spent the evening making dinner and attempting to read and understand at a 5 year old level. [Read more…] about Sunning in Santa Marta
