Larry went to his tie-chi lesson this morning. I went to see if I could find a place to watch were he couldn’t see me but was seen. Larry then asked Ron if I could join in, so I started to work out with them today. There is so much to remember.
Larry decided he would like to go to the market to get some vegetables. He was also thinking about getting a fish. We saw a man selling strawberries out of the back of his pick-up. We bought a half kilo which is a little more than 1 pound, for 15 pesos, He would have sold a whole kilo (little over 2 pounds) for 25 pesos.
The vegetables we bought were 2 tomatoes, 4 limes, and an avocado for 14 pesos, less than $1.40 US. If we had waited until tomorrow we could have bought the same for less at the Saturday Market.
One of Larry’s shirts has been missing 2 buttons. We stopped at a store that sells paper and sewing notions. I had looked in it before for buttons and couldn’t see any.
We asked if they had buttons, she pointed to an older man (looked like he was sleeping) setting behind a counter. Behind him was some buttons. We told him we needed red buttons, he found a little container that held several sizes of red buttons. I was able to find four that were the right size. The buttons were $.60 pesos each, which is 41/4 cents. We paid .18 cents for the four buttons.
I have seen this older man in this store before, he is always setting behind the same counter, He must be in charge of the things right there.
We stopped at the cooked pork place on our way back to eat. Larry had a torta, I had 2 tacos and we had drinks for 39 pesos, less than $3.90 US.
