We arrived around noon, grabbed lunch, and then walked to the Airbnb (our Airbnb was near Plaza Txalupagillene, so close proximity to the beach)....

Yilinn, Benton, and Elizabeth got coffee/pastries in the old town (even without Allan, we managed to order in Spanish without too many difficulties)....
