Friday 6/21/13

We went to town to the market. They have a million different stores with stuff crammed into them. In most, there is a guy at a counter with everything else behind them. You ask them if they have what you want, which is difficult as most of them speak minimal amounts of English.

We also went to the covered market where they sell food. The deeper you go in, the less English they know. A lot of them couldn't even tell you the prices in English so they would use a calculator to show. The prices varied a lot through out the market and we found out later that it was because they were probably jacking up the prices, hoping that we would pay it. Aunt Carol knew about what to pay though.

Kirsten and I were put in charge of dinner. It was Mexican night! We try and mix it up with the rice and beans because it can get pretty tiring. We made guacamole and corn tortillas from scratch. I used my water bottle as a rolling pin because we didn't have one. It was a lot of fun!
