Hello faithful blog subscribers! I see that we have two regular readers.....and I know my mom is on there as well. Feel free to post comments! On Wednesday Dra. M had an administrative meeting so EDF and I were given a free day ie we didn´t have to go into the clinic. We stayed in the house most of the AM catching up on news (500K limit for CEOs, eh Obama?) and then we ventured down the seriously steep hill into the outer world for our first walk in the neighborhood. I can see why everyone drives around. First of all, there aren´t really any sidewalks that I would venture to call generous. The cars let out plume upon plume of black exhaust right into your face and the guards standing in front of locked gates with AK-47s slung over their shoulders hardly make for a welcoming sight on a morning stroll. To top it off, we were scared to death by an attack dog that quite literally made it clear it wanted to eat both of us for lunch and was angry that a fence was preventing this from happening. The fruits of our adventure included a few postcards and some tortillas bought at a local stand. Then we headed back up the volcano to the gated community.
That night we went to one of apparently many American style shopping malls with Dra. M and her daughters. The mall was impressive and we all enjoyed a dinner at the food court, EDF had some Pollo Ranchero nuggets from her Guatemalan days and I enjoyed some tacos. The girls had pizza. In case you all wanted to know what we ate for dinner. Which I know you did.
