today, picked up patrik at the airport (8:30am), then we headed west — along the coast — towards santa ana….where we are now. en route, we stopped at the nearby lake, had some licuados….then chilled in santa ana. santa ana is a little city (pop 200k), which isn’t much of a tourist destination. it has a nice cathedral and a market….but is not artsy or colonial like some of the other places. we’re spending the night at some house recommended by lonely planet….it’s some guy’s house…and he rents out rooms. it’s nice and calm.
