Last night we hiked over to the Carrefour--the grocery store--and spent at least two hours stocking up on non-ramen products. While we're here (and have an oven) we are making baked macaroni and cheese, cold sesami noodles, a birthday cake, and maybe some snowball cookies.
Today both of my parents were up to walking out to the panaderia, and we got three large loaves of bread. Not quite sure what we were thinking because, even including the breadcrumbs for the pasta, we ate all of one (delicious) loaf.
After breakfast we walked towards the center of town to find an ATM and an electronics store for the adapter. The electronics store was closed, though, so we took a cab home and made the pasta.
To keep the oven on, we needed to hold down the thingy that makes the gas come out. It wouldn't stay lit otherwise, and was SO frustrating. But, eventually, the pasta was finished and was amazing.
The three of us took another long nap this afternoon, then my parents went back out to the electronics store and managed to find an adapter. Fortunately my father is feeling worlds better today.
This evening we found the version of Les Miserables with Liam Neeson and watched that. Fortunately it was subtitled not dubbed.
Happy summer solstice!
