We went to exchange large bills at the bank this time it was just a 13 minute wait. I also got money from the ATM; the exchange rate was 12.45 pesos per $1.00.

We decided to try the breakfast special at Cocodrilo. The dish was called chilaquiles. It is left over tortillas cut into strips and served with cheese. Sometimes you will get chicken mixed in too; it’s a dish of leftovers. We were not impressed.

While eating our breakfast we watched the road crew was working on the street. We still don’t know what they are going to put down.

On our way back home we stopped to get some limes. The parrot at the stand was a bad bird again.

I walked down to the plaza around 4:00pm. It was very quiet, not very many people there yet. One lady was starting a grill for cooking corn on the cob. She was using wood for the fire to make charcoal to cook the corn over. The corn looks a little burnt when it’s done. I have tried this before; the corn is tough as its field corn and not the sweet corn we use. Some people put mayonnaise and chili powder on it, I have not tried it this way.
