We awoke at 8am and headed downstairs to breakfast as it was included because of Holiday Inn Express standards. Well it may be standard to include breakfast, but it was pretty gross. Fruits that had gone bad, scrambled eggs so runny you wondered whether they had been cooked after being scrambled, sausage that was rather unsausage like. We stuck to tea and pastries. The pastries did not taste particuarly fresh but they were ok.

After eating we went upstairs to change into swimwear and took our 10 minute walk to the beach. We had bought beach towels the day before at Jumbo for 4,000 pesos or a little over $7 each. At the beach we paid $3000 for an umbrella, or about $6.15. The beach was wonderful and we spent the entire afternoon there. Mrs. Dcstudent was excited by the presence of seals swimming within 50 meters of shore, and Dcstudent enjoyed swimming with said seals, getting within 10-15 feet of them while swimming behind the wave breaks. The water was absolutely frigid at first touch (thanks to the Humboldt Current) but you warmed up a bit (only a bit) while swimming.

Around 5 or so we headed back to the hotel, showered and headed back to Tres Ojitas for dinner. Dinner this time came to about $24,000 pesos or $49 but we drank just a little bit more than the night before.

A cab back to the hotel and we crashed.
