Was awake early. Decided to head out to take advantage of the low temps low UV. Problem: nothing was open. Morning or Sunday? Maybe both. Out again right after 10, at least the main convenience store was open, so I could get another 10 L of water. Went to the Mercado, not much open -- all the produce stands, a few prepared food stands, not the one I wanted. The lack of crowds meant I noticed some 'convenience' stalls I'd overlooked before -- one selling loaves of ham, one with bulk dried beans, one with eggs -- so ahead of the actual convenient store. But I went on to the bodega. The sliced cheese I got last time was gone, and the "American" slices are *all* "imitation", with modified vegetable oil as the first ingredient. I did find they do have pasta and rice as well as dried beans, and olive oil -- that one behind the sales counter where you have to ask for it, like deodorant or whiskey.
On the way home, I passed a man literally taking a shit on the sidewalk. There are actually lots of "W.C." and "banos" around, but they might all be for pay. Not sure how much: I've seen "6.00" but if that's six pesos why the implied fraction, and if it's 600 pesos that's a lot (US$15).
Went back to the Mercado after noon, the torta stall I wanted was still closed, and I chickened out of seeing if the stewed tacos can be "to go".
Well, I have pasta, ground beef/pork, and tomato sauce... ooh, should have gotten an onion. Could go out and get one. Don't wanna. Honestly the chef's knife in this place is pretty terrible anyway.
Afternoon plan: catch up on work, I feel behind. Alternatively I could try museums. Definitely not walking much outside between 12 and 3.
My host says the 10 L water bottles are just trash, no recycle or re-use. There's re-use of the big thick 20 L bottles, but I don't want to wrestle those again.
I finally got salt. 1 kilo, which is ridiculous, but it's all the bodega had and it just cost a dollar. Iodized *and* fluoridated.
