Went to Caribe express in Chara micos to change money as the western union in town is closed. 45.80. On the way back stopped at Playero to buy a few food items hoping to be at lunch at one of the Italian places on the main street. All closed. Walking back to hotel, passed by a young woman standing on the sidewalk, and in sweltering heat. Went to speak with her. Haven't done anything the night before and sex before lunch was an appetizing idea. She was not dressed up or anything. She tentatively suggested 1000 pesos and was plaintively wondering if I had the money.
We went in to my place and both of us needed to have a shower it being a hot and humid day. She washed me and in the end, I finished the job in the shower booth itself. As she was getting dressed up, I gave her the money and a box of cookies I had just bought. She took the money, looked up and said, "me salvaste la vida". Just another day in paradise!
