The switch I bought for the computer system is working well, so that is accomplished.
On Wednesdays trip to centro I almost completed my list. I got my eyes checked and ordered new glasses. They had a 20 % off sale on complete glasses, (frames and lenses). I was only going to buy new lenses as my frames are fine; but the price of the lenses alone was more than if I bought new frames with the lenses. So I ended up buying a complete set. This way I will have the old set for a back up if I happen to break the new ones.
Checked the sweet corn at the one veggie lady at the Mercado. She said it was sweet corn; but it was way overripe and looked not tasty so I didn't buy it. Oh well, maybe next time or perhaps the season is ending for it, not sure. I never really keep track of the seasons of stuff here as we pretty much know what is in season by the produce trucks that come through the neighborhood.
Went to the butcher and got my meat and then to another store where I get pork chops for Roy. I don't care for pork chops and he doesn't care for fish. So when I cook him pork chops I cook fish for me and we are both happy. I noticed at the butcher shop that they have 3 kg. bags of tomato paste now. Tomato paste in the little cans or in any form is not usually available here. I don't use it often, well mainly because I know I can't get it so I hoard what I do have lol. I am thinking that I will buy a bag and re-package it into smaller bags and freeze it for when I want it. Should work I think. Might also see if my landlady would like some of it. I gave her a can to try and she liked the concentrated flavor so she might be interested in some. This butcher shop has a lot of large packaged items for pizza and restaurants and it is also where I buy my mozzarella cheese to use on pizzas, etc.. We like the Mexican cheese but I can't seem to get it to melt very well on pizzas, etc., so like to have some Mozzarella on hand. I buy a 2 kg. bag and keep it in the freezer and take out what I need as I need it. Already shredded which is nice also.
So, the list is pretty much complete and it only took 2 trips this time. Not bad.
Yesterday I met a couple of ladies from Canada and we did the 50 cent tour of Centro. Interesting to see the city through a newcomers eyes and I realized that the city is working very hard to clean up the garbage, etc.. Funny, I guess you get so used to things that you don't really notice it anymore until someone else mentions it. Way to go Guaymas!!! They also mentioned how nice everyone has been to them here, which is normal and is the main reason we live here. Great people. Again, WAY TO GO GUAYMAS!!!!! Got to love this place.
