After the empañadas we all headed to the fort at the top of the hill, again, we never actually made it into the fort even though most of them wanted to go in, we just loitered in from of it on the cliff edge. After about an hour of not really doing anything, at least anything productive, we moved on to the beach on the other side of the fort. On the way to the beach we passed a fruiteria, green grocers and they were all talking about getting some melons and some wine and chilling out with them on the beach. What the melon and wine thing is was an amazing idea and very simple, you cut the top off the melon, in our case the vendor did it, then you scoop out as much of the seeds as possible, which was very difficult with flimsy disposable plastic spoons. After you have scooped out most of the seeds, you pour in the wine, we had elected to go for the shittest, cheapest there was, a very acidic, flavourless and generally not very nice white wine. Then all you have to do is drink from it and scoop out the juicy flesh with the spoon and eat. It was actually a rather nice accompaniment to to the cool refreshing sea breeze.
