Went out around eight-thirty. Tried a different café on Gardenia. Ordered a flat white. Seventy pesos. She brought it in a paper cup. The foam was dry. Not the one.
A few pangas tied near the pier. A man was unloading fish into plastic crates. Stopped at a stand near the harbor. Pescado frito with rice and salsa. Eighty-five pesos. Ate at a plastic table under a palapa. The fish was good. A dog waited at the edge of the palapa. I finished and left.
Walked back through the grid. The heat was up by eleven. Bought water from a shop on Bugambilia. Lay down with the fan on. I did not sleep.
Finished the book around two. I will look for the next one. Went out again around four. Bought a nieve from a cart near the mercado. Tamarindo. Twenty pesos. It melted before I was done.
Back to the guesthouse by six. The window is open. A moto outside. Closed the October QQQ call before expiry.
