This morning Don had a bee in his bonnet to take one of Xela's version of the tuc-tuc (took took) to go to the mall. We woke at seven and he was up and making breakfast to the tune of some diddly -dang dog barking it's fool head off (and had been barking since 2:45 am). I am not sure why people have dogs here. They seem to mean nothing to them and they are poorly cared for, never neutered or heck ever see a vet. They don't revere them and they don't eat them (this is judging from the hords of dogs around). Okay, enough, I was just peeved because no one put a concrete block around this dogs head this morning ....... that's mean but at 3 am I WAS mean.
We ate a chicken buritto at Polo Comparo for lunch with a bit of fries to go with it and a bottle of water. It turned out to be too much food for me, I was over stuffed. I guess if I learn to pay attention to my tummy I won't put on any weight. Then we entered the mall which is two story. It has the usual stores and this time we even found a bookstore. The bookstore was a little 'out there' like a throw back to our hippie era.We had a couple of needs for our 'kitchen' like a knife that would cut hot butter! We found us a Crocodile Dundee knife! It will cut anything but there is little finesse in using it. We hunted down a couple of mugs for tea instead of the dinky cups we have been using and need to make a second cup to complete any meal. When I ran out of juice (energy) we headed back to catch a small bus back across town.
Tonight I cooked. It was not fancy. I have dubbed it a scrambled omelet. I thinly slice onion and any vegetables we have on hand and top it with a little tomato and then pour in the egg. It is filling and not fancy but provides a bit of protein along with some vegetables. Don did the manly thing and helped me do the dishes. We have some issues with the cleanliness of most things in the kitchen so we do our own thing and use our own stuff and feel better about the whole thing. I got sick but it was not because we have been careless. We have not eaten street food (and now it may be sometime before I take that step).
Earlier in the day Don had taken in the laundry so when we returned from the mall we set an alarm to remind us that it would be ready at 4 pm. It was clean and not wadded up but their folding skills need some work.
At the mall we got more clothes hangers and hung up most of our shirts so we don't look like a wrinkled mess when we head out into the wild blue yonder.
My energy level is all used up but we are still alive and we will continue to blog as we can.
