Food Tastes Better from a Market
Biggest news of the day: we got wireless in our apartment! We found out today that it was possible and decided it would be far less stress and probably less money than using the internet cafe down the street. I’m going to do my best to limit my time on it, however. There are far more interesting things to explore around here than the web.
Biggest adventure of the day: Shopping at the San Lorenzo market. I mean, who doesn’t love a good whole chicken (including the head), octopus and some kind of animal brain? Mary and I just might be brave enough to try one of those before we leave…but maybe not. Still, it’s fun that it’s there–we definitely aren’t in the States any more. We did stock up on plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables–with a splurge on cashews. I even got some black olives–so good. Mom, you should be proud–I bought a pepper and an onion to add flavor to our meat sauce tonight. I’ll try to remember to bring my camera next time we go to the market, it’s a very fun place. I’m definitely going to have a hard time going back to Kroger.
Other grown-up things we did today include paying our first months rent.
I think I’m finally getting used to the time zone–I woke up at 8:30 am and couldn’t go back to sleep, so I’m excited about that. Mary and I are thinking we’ll stay in town a few more days and then travel some before school starts.
