still cool here, but more sunshine today ... but i still continued to work all day; except i took a break for lunch and went to my favorite little Mexican shop, El Paso, and had my favorite ... Salbutas. They are made with masa corn flour, fried, the topped with shredded chicken, cabbage and carrots, with a tomato and jalapeno slice on the top. I love them! Here is what they look like.
house next to El Paso, with it's resident chickens.
i 're-did' this area .... boards, peg board, metal roofing, and plastic tops were stuck around the fence to keep the cats in/out. it was really pretty 'trashy' looking, don't you think ?
before.
after.
Ishie arrived yesterday, a young girl from Tahoe and plans to stay for 3 weeks. She's very nice, outgoing, and adventurous, .... and helped me with my chores today. Our first job was to walk to the lumber yard and carry home two 14 foot 1x4's .... i'll bet they've never seen that before :)
Stephanie (from New Brunswick) and i went to dinner tonight to Pirates. They were grilling in the street, which seems to be the thing this year. last year there were 3 places doing that, now almost every restaurant (and anyone else, it seems), has their grill out on the street. they had a nice big piece of grouper for B$30. i asked the guy if he would sell me half of it for B$15. he really didn't want to do it; but eventually he did. it was great grouper. dinner also came with 2 sides, a ceviche appetizer, and free rum punch. not a bad deal for B$15.
