After almost being here a week we decided to take a little walk through our neighbourhood. Travis had already been doing a bunch of exploring but he wanted us to see everything too. It was neat to see how close we live to a grocery store we went to when we came in November 2009 and how close we are to Bolo and Jenny’s home. It was neat to see how many little stores there are, how close it is to walk to the soccer stadium and to the two main malls. There are so many stores to buy bread and the main things for your house as well as many little restaurants or barbeque places (they specialize in cuy which is guinea pig).
After our walk we went downtown to explore some more, found a good little restaurant to eat at and looked at a bunch of stores that sell appliances. We found one that seems to be able to provide us everything we may need at a great price. There are lots of things to find downtown but we have to make sure that we don’t go between 1 and 3 when most of the stores still close for lunch. Can you imagine what that would be like if we did that in Canada? Two hours for lunch for everyone? It is nice because that means a lot of families have time to eat lunch together!
That evening we went to the other mall that, get this, has a KFC. Although that might be a good thing in the months to come having a familiar restaurant, we didn’t actually eat there but let the kids play on their play structure and looked to see what there was in this mall. Afterwards we took a little walk to a taco place, it actually makes pretty decent Mexican food which is nice to see we have more options then the rice, beans and meat that is usually served at every place. And this happens not to be far from our place right now either. Which is good seeing that we don’t have much stuff right now to make a lot of food from the house. Hopefully in the next while we can find a more permanent house to live in and start setting up the things we need in order to do just that.
