Early afternoon. Out the window of our room, reflections of the morning light bleach the white plaster walls and a neighbor's potted plants.
The guys already resumed conversations from last night, and now enjoy each others company anew.
The panoramic views of the surrounding valley are stunning. The village is endearing with its whitewashed buildings and quaint old world charm.
The weather beautiful, soon the bouncing sun scorches everything in sight.
Around lunch time we meet Fernando, a young local guys and friend of El Refugio...
With a few cubes of ice,
El Refugio's wine list appears,
and some very interesting conversations ensue.
Arm-wresting!
People still do that?
Yes they do.
As the sun sinks, the rare birds hunting for dinner are replaced with bats, and our activities mutate as well. Botz and Fernando stage a lucha - arm wrestling!
Fernando prevailed with his shining right arm, but Botz was unstoppable with his left arm in the rematch.
No evening with new friends would be complete without a bit of dancing to a broad mix of...funk?

Retiring inside, up late watching internet videos of British comedians Rowan Atkinson and Stephen Fry.
While the videos load, we share favorite ska and punk bands and Botz introduces us to the indelible Amy Winehouse.
What a day of great fortune! Finally, the feeling is as though we are someplace different - and at the same time...at home!
