Learning

So the power finally came back on, which is a relief because I've been pretty bored. It's been raining a steadily soaking drizzle all day long, which has the added benefit of making it slightly cooler here (not cool enough to make me put on a jacket or jeans though), but at the same time is not very good exploring weather.  I didn't want to stay home with nothing to do and no power though so I made my way to la Sirena. And yes, I actually found it today without a problem! So I was able to get some needed supplies and groceries. I also stopped by the clinic. They seem to think the pup is doing better today, since she stood up on her own. She was having trouble with that yesterday. They asked me if I wanted to name her, and I told them I'd think on it. So I'm taking suggestions. I also made three phone calls about renting apartments. I was kind of nervous to do that since I don't really like making phone calls to strangers (seriously, even having to call to place a pizza order in the U.S. makes me anxious. weird, I know.), and this had the added difficulty level of communicating in Spanish. I figured it was now or never though! That's one of the double edged swords about living here, it forces you to be brave, constantly putting you in uncomfortable situations that you have to work through and learn through.  In any case, none of the "proprietarios" o "dueñas" (landlords or landladies) answered their phones, so I left messages. Cross your fingers that something will turn up for me :)
P.S. It´s raining her now, but lucky you, I took some pictures of flowers while I was getting lost yesterday. Hope they brighten your day!
