July 8th

Today we went shopping at the "Cow Store". We don't know its real name - all the gringos call it that. It's a large mini-mart in a convenient location, although the produce isn't as fresh as the other local markets and the prices seemed high.
.
We also went to a mall containing a store called Soriana. It looks like a Wal Mart, and the food selection is very good. Here we found little computerized price tags next to each item. Because the price of the merchandise fluctuates according to the value of the peso, these tags give up-to-the-minute shelf prices.

Bud took this picture in the Soriana parking lot. The blue and white signs are for handicapped parking. The green and white signs are parking slots for mothers with babies. Finally, someone has realized how difficult it is to shop with small children!
