She stopped to chat with Carlos and Don Julio (I am sure I have his name wrong, but will correct it later). She stayed a few more minutes so that I could photograph her.

We met in a bookstore named Dyslexia. We spoke of literature, travel and work.

Would you believe! I pulled him away from his work to make calls to the Lago de Atitlán area so that I may find an inexpensive and fun hostel. Of course, I have no time for fun, so busy posting photos so you may know where I happen to be at the moment. Duty calls.

He is owner of a most interesting restaurant-club called "Casa No Sé.

Carlos, middle, runs the bookstore, Dyslexia. He's taking a break with us but ready to head to the bookstore across the street when necessary.

Last night, went to the Café No Sé on First Avenue, between Calles 5 nd 6. Was disussing this painting with the bartender and asked if I could photograph it. I stretched across the bar to take the photo and she took the camera and probably did a better job than I would have.

Then, when the owner arrived, we had a long disussion about the painting and he told me about the artist. I had seen three men, but he pointed out four. Could they be the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?
