Hello Everyone, I ended up staying in the city and not doing the tour because Noe felt it would be unwise for me to go with a cab driver alone. I took his advice and stayed in the center of the city, did more exploring, shopping, checked out a couple of hotels just for fun, bought three huge avocados for $1 and pretty much ate my way through the day. The coffee here and hot chocolate are amazing and there is never a sense of being hurried. You can stay as long as you like, even if you only buy a bottle of water. I had a wonderful breakfast in a cafe, which consisted of a ham and veggie omlettle with picante and sour cream on the side, fresh corn tortillas, fried plantanes, beans, a large coffee latte, followed by a cup of hot chocolate. I was starving! The grand total, including tip, was $4.50. After breakfast, I stopped at the bakery and bought a large chocolate eclair for 50 cents, which I ate in the town square. Beleive it or not, I've even lost a few pounds with all the exercise, and you never eat between meals here. I am thinking of moving to a bed and breakfast type place next week where another student and his wife are staying. Even though the family I'm staying with is very nice, they leave me alone too much and I feel somewhat like an intruder. We'll see. Well, time to do a little studying. Love, Judy

Judy, Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us! The beauty of the country and the people are striking. I've enjoyed your writing and pictures so much. Love and hugs, Cindy
Hang in there with your family! It will take a while for both sides to feel comfortable and more open. It will be worth it in the end, I promise! I love hearing about what you're doing! I can't wait to read more!
Ditto on everyone's comments Judy.
The pictures are great and the discriptions of life there are so enjoyable. What a fabulous adventure.
God Bless and His Angels watch over you.

Judito - You are drinking hot coco without me? Is it DARK coco? I am catching up reading your blog backwards since I was finally able to log in from home. J.O.B keeping me busy and can't read your blog from there. C.N-P.
