Just a Nice Morning
Got up this morning, Thursday, July 28, knowing I had papers
to deliver at the immigration lawyer’s office.
But as I’m getting ready, I noticed I had no hot water again. It seems every time we get one of those cold
winter winds, the pilot on my water heater goes out. Now I know how it works. So I just had to wait a bit before a warm
shower. So I took a few minutes to eat breakfast, some nice leftovers from
yesterday.
I was in and out of the lawyer’s office in only 10
minutes. Before anything else can be
done, we have to wait from the Interpol background check.
I had another errand I wanted to accomplish. I’ve been here a month now and wanted to find
a barber before school starts. The other
day I went to one around the corner. At
least I thought it was a barber shop.
There were a few men working there, but when I went in they were
shocked. “No, this is for ladies only.” I had seen a few others near the Plaza. Not as nice, but effective. What do you think of my 40 Bs. haircut (that’s
about $6)?
Before
After
I was a block from the Plaza, so I had to visit. Here are some photos of flowers in bloom and
a table waiting for a chess game.
There were also lots of pigeons as always. I’d say a thousand or more any day. There were also lots of kids chasing the
pigeons. My mom always says I did that
when I was little. Today, I tried to
coax a few to eat out of my hand. Haha –
it worked!
It wasn’t long before I realized I was hungry. It was already noon. So I went to La Pascana, a nice restaurant on
the Plaza. I was only a little hungry,
so I got just a coke and some fried yucca.
Yucca is a root, but not quite a potato.
It is stringier and drier, but I like it better. Dip it in some hot sauce and yum!
I walked home, wanting to stop at a papeleria. That means a paper store, but basically is an
office supply. They were already closed
for siesta. Don’t get irritated at
that. It is the culture. Go home and enjoy the siesta.
Tomorrow I plan on visiting the botanical garden. Wanna come?
Good seeing YOU! Like that Nash shirt too! Enjoy your day!
