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.
