Days Five - Seven
Nothing too adventurous to report. Spent most of my days simply exploring the "Colonia", Mexico's version of a suburb. What I like a lot about the Colonias is that about every so many houses is a Tienda ( small store ) or someone selling food, good, home cooked food. Tiendas are usually about the size of a single car garage and range in wares from a convenience store to party store. The simple fact is you can find just about anything you need for daily life within a short walk from your home.
There are stores that sell fresh vegetables and fruits. Others that sell meat and so on. Each has a kind of specialty. The little restaurants range from a table where prepared food is sold "To Go" to mini restaurants with tables and the works. Life is casual and relaxed, everyone is polite and friendly, and everyone pretty much looks out for each other.
