Vanemos a Caminar

2/10/09

The operative word of the day was : walk. For miles. First, just to walk, then to find a bookstore, then to find a phone, then to get Mish a haircut, then to look for coffee beans, then to look for a coffee makere, because someone who shall not be named couldn´t find his before we left. Miles. Did I say we walked for a long time? My dogs is aching, and that is WITH good shoes. A huge lunch: a special: salad, rice, a pile of meat 6 inches high in a sizzling pan with real charcoal under it to keep it sizzling while we ate. 3 steaks on top, then 3 pork chops, then 3 quarter chickens, then 3 blood sausages, then 3 chimichangas, all in a layer of hot fat with broiled potatoes. And we tried.

Finally found a place that sold coffee beans and had a grinder, but it was a, uh, how shall I say this, STINKY pet store, with bags and bins of open pet food everywhere, and wild cats lying around everywhere and the place REEKED of cat piss, strong that it made my eyes water. But Mish persisted and bought a half kilo of freshly ground cat piss beans. I´m not sure they´re useable.

Finally found a place that sold coffee makers but the store was all the way back, only two blocks from where we lived. After all that walking. 2 lousy blocks from our hostel after being out walking for several hours. Uhhhh.

We did, though, pay $125 US apiece to get our paperwork handled by a professional, so hopefully when our bikes finally arrive, Friday, we´ll be able to get them out that day.

We´ll see.
