another day in paradise



The 2 pictures are from last night. I went for a walk by myself to our down town square are, I guess Europes equivalent of a piazza. They were setting up for this beig concert they were having at 10pm (everything is very late here, its great for night owls). I didnt stay for the concert, I would have loved to, but that is to late for a lone white girl to be walking the streets...so I took pictures of the decorations and of the church that sits on one side of the piazza. The church is the oldest thing in San Jose, it is what the town formed around. Its beautiful.


Today, I woke up at 7am (my body has decided its wants to be a morning person here...I think my mind knows subconsciously that there is so much beauty ouside our walls that it forces me to get up). After making breakfast for Kara and myself we went to the Walmart in Cabo San Lucas. As much as I hate Walmart we have to go for some basics. However, I have decided Walmarts are worse here then they are in the states. Here they employ child labor. The kids who bag your groceries cannot be older than 12. Sure most grocery stores here use little children as cheap labor but here is Walmart who claims to be so wonderful using the little kids...its just sad. After Walmart, we went to the beach where we boogy boarded for a few hours. The heat here right now is so intense that a few hours is all you need. Then we came home and I made a late lunch for Kara and Jeanne. I made stuffed, twiced bake potatoes on the grill. The stuffing was made of potatoe, chorizo, green onions, onions, peppers, fresh garlic, and some differnt seasonings. Then we grilled them and put a slice of Mexican cheese on them...they were heaven.
