Yesterday we moved into our apartment in Las Salinas! Yay! Ansley, Karina, and I did a lot of grocery shopping, too. Of course, I was in my glory grocery shopping! I LOVE IT! We buy a lot of our food from the local markets, which are all open air. You have to tell each vendor what you want and then they get it for you. So cool. We also got to check out a big supermarket called Tottus. It is very much like a Wal-Mart or Wegman's. Although, in Peru, they don't have as much of a selection of products. For example, most every cereal they have is sugary stuff with marshmallows. We bought Raisin Bran and Corn Flakes...:) Yay for fiber!!
Our landlady is pretty much the cutest thing ever. Her name is Manuela, and she is an older lady who would probably do anything for you. She is really nice. She introduced us to the milk lady, the fish man, and the lady who will be picking up our milk for us yesterday. We are going to have fresh milk delivered to us every day! Dave knows how to pasteurize it because he grew up on a dairy farm. I can't wait to try it! We'll also have fresh cream, too! Woop! I don't know about the fish man...maybe we'll get some fresh fish delivered, but it comes whole. Not sure any of us actually know how to clean and gut a whole fish! Ewww..... Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know Manuela.
Last night we were all pooped out and went to bed at 9:30. I have to say that I've been extremely tired after this week, 6 a.m. is an early morning for me! Hopefully we will have some time to relax a little now that there isn't a team here. I'll try to put up more pictures, but the internet is a little bit slow so it takes a long time. Hasta luego!
