Buenos Dias mi Amgios!
Amazing medicina por juanete! My toe feels 87% better. And that was after just one pill. Thank-you Gaby and the pharmacy that prescribed it without me even being there. Oh, the cost was $37 pesos or about $3.10. No insurance to bill…..interesting concept. I learned that full health insurance in Mexico would cost about $600 USD for the year for gringos. Not a bad option if the health insurance in the US continues to go in the wrong direction.
Walked to Panino’s for my bi-daily internet session which includes new blog entries, devotions, banking, and emails and of course a bottomless cup of coffee. Exchanged one of my books for a ‘fresh’ one .( #4 if you’re keeping track) Decided to make a culinary run afterwards. (i.e. groceries)
The MEGA (the big grocery store just south of Bucerias) trip was accomplished in 2 hours flat. Remember that includes the ½ mile walk to the bus, the 20 minute bus trip each way, the money exchange, shopping with limited Spanish, and hauling 30 pounds of food back. With a semi-bad toe. Not bad.
What’s on the menu for the next few days? The 1-kg Mexican meatloaf is prepared and now cooking….oh, while I was gone, magically a new propane bottle showed up, was connected, and the pilot light was re-lit on the water heater. Pretty cool. Thanks, Gaby!
The challenge today was to find the ingredients for a honey mustard vinaigrette. Good thing there’s only 3 ingredients. Also to pick out 2 new wines that I have not tried and that don’t bust my budget. Do you now understand why my backpack was 30 pounds?
The surprise today was that a kilo (2.2 pounds) of pecans cost 263 pesos or over $22 USD. Ouch! No, didn’t get them but will ask arriving guests to smuggle some into the country. That’s a hint.
