Sunday was fine, but Monday was time to get creative. Breakfast was easy (coffee and cookies is acceptable here), 2nd breakfast just begged for churros and chocolate (the restaurants are open on fiesta days - but the budget said only one stop at a restaurant).
After that I was off to explore the neighborhood to determine what was open. First I found an open bread store so 2 loaves of the "de la casa" (bread of the house - basically french loaves) were added to the bag. Next I found an a small fruit stand that was open. Apples, oranges, plantains and grapes were added. Finally I explored the chino (a small variety store - reminds me of Dollar General - has a little of everything in it and appears to almost always be open) and added a package of bacon and sandwich bread (Alex has a field trip today and had to have bread to pack his lunch with today) to the bag. Then I was back home.
Lunch is the biggest meal of the day and consisted of french toast with bacon. Of course no syrup in the house so it was topped with jelly or honey.
Merienda (the snack meal between lunch and dinner, served around 6:00) was apple crisp. We had a team meeting here last night so it was a little fancier than normal.
And dinner, well let's just say it was individualized. Hannah had a cheese quesadilla (made with cured goat cheese), Alex had a bag of cereal (a close replica of Cinnamon Toast Crunch), I had cheese with crackers and an orange, and Scott had bread and cheese and a couple carrots.
Guess what is first on the agenda today? Yep, grocery shopping!
