Saturday free day in the city.
Breakfast, going native with ceviche, here with popcorn,plantain, and corn nuts added. Apparently one adds what we call bar food to the ceviche (with large shrimp-many). Smoked salmon on the side.
QB acquired a simple but fun foldable toquila, also called a Panama hat.
The jardin botanica is quiet but bug infested. The taxi driver stopped so we could get repellant, told him we had. Then at the gate they offered us repellent. We were properly warned. Oddly the attendants would not call a taxi on their local phones, happy to help us use my phone.
The garden visit reminded QB why she is not a field biologists though this place does not have so many high weeds on the paths.
Street life. Vibrant and varied. Buskers, street vendors, persons selling single plastic glasses of cola from a bottle, limes conveniently priced at a dollar a packet, and homeless of course.
Stratification and equalitarian. Developing a theory but more research required. Today I discussed with a taxi driver the prevalence and appropriateness of having a mistress. Research continues.
