Another trip to the local grocery market
I wish I could have taken photos on this trip, maybe by next trip we will have replaced the camera. We didn't buy much, only what I could carry the 6 blocks home. We have not figured out if the porters who delivery your groceries cost money or not. We tried to ask the young doorman at the apartment, and he said it was gratis, but I am not sure he understood exactly what we meant. The good news is that he is going to show us how the marmitas work at a local lunch place Wednesday. It should be a good time, we will bring the dictionary so that we can try to communicate. As for the groceries, we spent around US$20. We bought potatoes, beans, onions, a cucumber, 3 liters of liquid yogurt, some bananas, mustard, 2 soup mixes, 2 ramen noodle packs, and the most expensive items of the trip, a package of cookies Zoë picked out, made by Nestle and had coconut in them, and a package that Abby picked out, that looked like donut cookies, and a Hershey's candy bar with cashews that Laura picked out. Those last 3 items cost 33% of the whole bill.
Abby @ 4 years, 8 months, 4 days
Zoë @ 4 years, 8 months, 4 days
Enzo expected in 1 month, 5 days
