Again.

Where I left off earlier this day, shortly later we were taken by these two people to Subway (Hallelujah for Subway!) whereupon they bought Eli and I lunch, which was awfully nice of them. After we left there, they brought us to our hotel, Saint Anthony, and also paid for that, so we there is much to be thankful for. After we ate our excellent Subway meal, and readied ourselves, we went to the mall, because both of us had a mission of buying dress shoes. I found some very nice ones which are extraordinarily comfortable, and were only around $25, so I was quite pleased with that. Eli also succeeded in his mission, and in addition to his dress shoes, he made the purchase of a book (in Spanish) on philosophy. We came back after that and I repacked my duffle bag so as to try to get everything to fit in a little better, and after some hours of that I went to see if Eli had heard anything about how (for sure) we were getting to the airport at 4:30am. Unfortunately his cell phone didn't have any time left on it to call, so we moved on to plan B of finding a pay phone. We found one, but alas it didn't work either, because you had to have a special card – coins could not be taken. The stores appeared to be all closed as well, so we couldn't get the card needed to call on any phone. Finally we decided to just walk and see if we could find a store that had the cards for sale and that was open. We walked for a little ways and finally found a gas station that was open, and wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles, it had the card we needed. We bought it and came back and were finally able to get through, and the plans of the morning were confirmed.

I hope tomorrow will go smoothly with the travelling...
