Day What?

I think it's Day 9. I must decide if I will continue to live at Salvadora's soon, as I only paid her up to ten days in advance. Need to pay some more. Pros: Good family, safe, own bathroom, clean, meals prepared. Cons: Far from rest of town, no A/C, very likely able to find similar accommodations for cheaper or better for same price. Breakfast and lunch are good, but at dinner it's the same old same old: Gallos pintos (rice and beans) and cheese, a salad, and no meat. I might be better off buying my own meals. Will think about this later.

City-wide power outage for the past two hours. Luckily, water stays on at my house even when the power is out - unlike the rest of the group's house. Add that to the Pros list of Salvadora's. My beloved internet place can provide internet on their backup generator, but not A/C. Also, would like a hot shower at some point in near future. Cold showers arent too bad later in day, when it is hot out and the cold water is inviting. But, in the morning, I am beginning to hate it. The water is very cold, unlike later in the day when it has been heated to cool in the pipes by the sun.

Off to go volunteer at Biblioteca. Class last night was a success. Will write more later.
