It's been weeks since I last exchanged my books at the Centro Maya's Mobile Library, so when I got back from snorkelling at 5.45pm I had a fast shower to wash off the salt and then caught the bus over.
I exchanged 4 books for 5 new ones, which will keep me busy for the next few weeks. And I also discovered a new service of DVD exchange - you just bring a DVD you've seen and no longer want, and take home one you want to see. It's not like a video shop, there is hardly a huge collection, mine was #179 so I guess there are about 200 in total. They ask you for a donation of 1 peso (about 8cents Aus) but are quick to backpedal - "that's if you can spare it, or you want to, senora) and I was happy to give them 5. What a great service!
While at the Centro Maya I called in to my fav supermarket cafe where I get the coffee and donut deal, and a fresh bubbling pizza was being taken from the oven. Well, after such a relaxing day, who wants to cook dinner, so I bought a slice. The boy must have thought I needed fattening up (as if!) because he gave me the largest slice - about 8" across and dripping with ham and mushrooms, all for $1.80. And then having already made a piglet of myself by finishing said slice, I went back for the double vanilla cappucino and a fat chocolate donut. All in all, a $3 dinner, and I could hardly drag my full belly back to the bus stop. I did think I should probably walk home to try to work off the meal, but that thought lasted about 10 seconds and I hopped on the next bus. It's probably not much more than 1km, but it was getting dark.... and I did do lots of snokelling today.
No plates to wash, nothing to do but update my blog and collapse into bed with a new book!
