Friday July 13/12 update
Yesterday I got a few shots of an indigenous family cooking a large pot of something right on our street.   I am amazed that people are so tolerant of other people’s space, noise, and smoke.   Pancho was keeping a good eye on me too.
Our day was all planned but quickly went awry.  Our banker said that our CD’s due on Sunday would be in our bank account today but that did not materialize.   We had bused all the way to Feria Libre to be certain but to no avail.   That scotched most of the day’s plans right there.
Since there was supposed to be some sort of gastronomic fair at Mall De Rio we grabbed a bus there.   First we had a lovely lunch at CBC (no, not the TV guys) who have a sign that looks so much like our CIBC signs that it stops me in my tracks.  I had a 3 Taco special, one beef, one chicken, and one pork, and they were all excellent and sloppy.   Bella had nachos with guacamole so she was happy.   That will keep us sated until supper.
We found the gastronomic fair but it was in the middle of a question and answer session so it was not at all what we expected.   Bella was of course interested in looking at any kind of new kitchen gadgetry so she was quite disappointed.   We went into the Coral to find some veggies to make salad for tomorrow night’s dance date, but the veggies were gross.
So we hopped the #13 milk run back home and got off at the local Coopera to pick up the broccoli salad fixings.  While Bella was inside I was enjoying the sunshine, the flowers, the bees, and the palms.  This has been a beautiful week but we note the river is very low, so we could use a nice rain to freshen everything up.  Since it is Friday the 13th, and we are going to the California Kitchen tonight for Filet Mignon, it is almost guaranteed to rain….   Oh, this is such a tough life.
Enjoy the pics.    That was today’s excitement.    Hugs to all.
