So, as surmised from the title, still waiting. Nontheless, enjoying this time here. There is way more light than back home as sun sets after 18.00 and obviously warmer also even if it rains..

Somewhat wet after that day's walk.. At the start of the day i went to see the largest market they arrange every sunday, and even though the weather was not the most pleasant, plenty of people were wandering about seeing what they were selling in the street stalls.

All sorts of stuff were for sale, nothing really picked my interest. Did buy a wall cloth from a stall which i will post a pic of later when it is where i planned to install it.

The days merge into themselves, and the one thing i have instilled in my daily routine is walking and having a coffee etc somewhere

I've also wanted to somehow be of use in the house, as i have the fortune to be able to stay here while waiting for the van.. And as i am good with working with my hands building stuff, i offered to fix couple little things here that needed repairs. This is the drain on the balcony.. Obviously had some troubles as the building materials are not the ones i usually encounter back home and the added difficulty of the different language.. But i managed the fixes at an acceptable level.

Otherwise, i am quite liking the normal lifestyle here. Food is great and doesn't need to be overly complicated.

I think this was my late lunch one day.. 

The days pretty much resemble themselves and thus i have no particular recollection as to what happened and when.

Anyways, a week or so ago, George offered to take me with him to a reunion of old skool hiphop heads (mainly artists and his friends) so of course i went.. Was a great night out, even though as the evening progressed the language spoken was 99% spanish with intoxicated people, and my understanding is not the best when people speak fast..

Was awesome anyways!

On the course of the next days, haven't done much noteworthy, walked around the city mainly. Did also visit the museom of anthropoly, was quite interesting. I do not know however people have the added interest of exploring everything a museum has to offer.. This one had four floors, and pretty much after the first floor, i was quite exhausted and not paying that much attention anymore to everything that was exhibited. Here are some pics of interest.

This one above is particulary interesting as i have a similar stucco fragment back home, which i found in Malta at a very remote and sparsly populated beach.. I'll try to see if i have a picture somewhere of it but i think i do not have it at hand..

I am not too sure if i should tell all this here :D

I do not have the descriptions for the above pictures as to what they were and from what period but they caught my interest.

To finish it off, here's pictures from the city, as it was a beautiful day and lots of interesting things to see just by walking.

Here above, was right next to the anthropoly museum, notice the skaters also making good use of this public place.

To top it off, i also found a street workout site, with the equipment for a little workout quite close to the house so that was good.

Coffee and edibles just because they are a recurring theme here.
