It's a miracle - No rain today!

Not one drop - not even the little mist that is sometimes in the air.  We walked into town around 11:30 this morning, armed with our umbrellas as usual but they were never needed this time.  I also finally learned to dress in layers (in a tropical country???)  But the way it's been, it's usually quite cool on the walk into town, and once we're walking back home, we usually get pretty hot.  So, today, it was nice to be able to shed the warmer clothes.  In town, Guillermo went around again to several pharmacies to see if they could supply him with the pills he's going to be needing in a few weeks.  At the same time, I was checking out a video store, but that's not going to work out because to rent a video you have to be a member (show them a home receipt of a utility bill) or put a deposit down on each rental, which will be returned when the video is returned.  We don't really want to do that so forget seeing videos for a while.

Then we were going to eat at that upstairs German restaurant we found last week, which was so EMPTY when we saw it last week, but today it was packed - there was no place to sit.  We waited around for a while, but came to the conclusion that it'd be quite a while before we got a table, and our food, because it looks like it's just one guy there who cooks every meal from scratch.  Even though it smelled SO GOOD there, we decided to try the place another time - and to get there earlier next time!!  So, instead, we went back to the Peruvian restaurant Machu Pichu and had another absolutely delicious meal there.  After that good meal, we picked up a few groceries and began the walk home.  We thought for sure by then it'd be raining, but we got all the way home with no rain at all.  And as I'm writing this at 9:30pm, it never did rain the rest of the day....

  1. It must be nice to have all those wonderful new places to eat, then walk off the food in such a scenic place. I enjoy reading your blog about your time there. John

  2. It IS nice to have such interesting places to eat, and we feel glad about being able to walk so much! Anywhere we walk around here is enjoyable and we love the scenery - and most of the time, the temperature!
