Passing the time in Yantzaza

On Tuesday morning, Karen and I headed from Los Encuentros to the town of Yantzaza.  We were supposed to have a study in the morning, but it didn't work out.  That meant we had until 6:00 to sit around.  Often we can go to a shopping center or some such place in the larger cities.  However, Yantzaza happens to be a small pueblo, so there was no such thing as a shopping center.  We spent all morning in the park.  Around noon we decided to find a place to eat.  While we ate chicken at a local restaurant, it poured cats and dogs.  After lunch, we went back to the park, dried off a bench and continued to sit.  In the afternoon, we found a little bakery and sat there for a while sipping our cold drinks and sharing a piece of chocolate cake as we watched it rain heavily out the window.  When it started to get a bit crowded in the bakery, we decided to head to the bus terminal and sit there until it was time for the study.  Around 4:30, Karen decided to call the lady whose number we had to see if we could come a bit early.  Fortunately, it was possible, and we ended up finishing our study by 6:00, the time we were supposed to start.  It was especially nice since we had to find a hostal after the study since the lady with whom we were supposed to stay was out of town.  We paid $10 each (per bed, not per room) for a room with a private bathroom and headed off to find supper.  Not being overly desirous of more chicken and rice, we bought rolls and ham from a little market and had sandwiches in our room.  Though it wasn't an overly eventful day, we were quite ready to fall into bed at the end of it.

Here are a few pictures I took in the park during our long wait there.
