Montecristo

Linda decided to fill the car with folks and head inland to a little town called Montecristo. In fact, so many were going that we took two cars. De Anne and I rode with Bob and Patty, who hail from Hawaii and are planning to retire in Ecuador.

We did some light shopping. Bob and Patty were impressed with my bartering skills. I am now able to buy things at a 10% premium instead of 100%. It takes several rounds to get the price down, but the shop keepers are insulted if you pay the asking price.

 Valyrie, an ex-pat from England, picked up 3 young Australian girls on the street and we added them to the lunch group.
