This day would look a lot more interesting if i had pictures to go along with it...but i don't. Mom and I and one of her friends went shopping. I think i was invited because they needed a pack mule...but whatever. I know shopping doesn't sound that exciting, but it was fun for me...we did it Indian style and in my old neighborhood. Things have really developed since we lived there...there's even a KFC and Subway within walking distance from our old house.
We bought:
- flip flops for J (he's "stealing" everyone else), myself and Sam (they don't fit, so we'll have to get him some other ones)
- cloth to make cloth diapers for J (have to be exchanged since it actually might be cheaper in Wal-Mart)
- fabric to make little cotton long sleeve "petticoats" for B - to keep her arms covered from the mosquitoes and still keep her cool
- sappotas...yum!
- and looked at some furniture for my parents
It was nice to get something practical done, but boy...was it hot outside...i think 1 1/2 hours is about all we can handle outside in the middle of the day. We thought about bringing B along, but she wouldn't have been able to handle the walk or the sun. Glad she stayed at home...
While we were buying sappotas i wish i'd had a camera...but if i have a camera then i also loose my bargaining power since it shows i have "money"...problem. Solution: cell phone camera. Brilliant! Even the fruit vendors have mobiles...so it's not a big deal to carry mine around. Yeah, problem solved. There'll be pics from the next time we go shopping again.
