On day four Christian and I worked through the morning heat wave. As the cool breeze started coming in off the ocean in the afternoon we set out to have a look at the train station and buy some fresh seafood to cook. As we drove into the city it began to rain, this was the only rain I experienced while visiting.
The train station was a grand old building covered floor to ceiling with beautiful tile. The building looks like it has seen better days yet still seemed to be in remarkably good shape structurally.
It cleared up again in the afternoon and we enjoyed our late lunch watching the soccer match next door and people passing by below.
