Saturday January 2 2010
I thought for sure the rain had stopped last night but this morning it was still coming down. It’s not a hard rain most of the time, a drizzle, then showers, then drizzle and it even stops for a while.
The rain had stopped so I went to the Saturday Market to see what was there. This was the lowest amount of vendors I have seen at the Saturday Market.
Then it started to rain, I stopped at the vendor that sells a lot of things in bulk. I got toilet paper, (trying to find a 4 ply instead of a 2 ply) tea, and Raid Raidolitos ( anti-mosquitoes). Then I saw the long line of people buying their weekly or monthly supplies. The Raidolitos is a spiral that you burn to keep the mosquitoes away. I have used them more this year as the mosquitoes seem to be worse this year. So I got to stand in line and watch the rain start to come down harder. This is when the jejenes (no-see-em) bugs came out and started biting. This area is known for this bug, they are very small, ¾ of them is mouth and they seem to bite harder the longer they are allowed to stay on you. So everyone started to do what I call the jejenes dance it’s a slap type of dance.
Then I noticed that a lot of the vendors were packing up and leaving. When I finally got to the front of the line some men tried to cut in front of me the lady in charge asked if I could go before them, they had to say yes. Cost was 40 pesos.
I was really glad to get out of there even if it meant walking in the rain. As long as you are moving the jejenes have a hard time landing on you and biting.
The rest of the day was spent inside. We watched a Tom Selleck movie, called Monte Walsh. We enjoyed it as we had not seen it before.
