dry
after a morning breakfast of french toast and maple syrup, we found that our abuela had spent the morning cleaning our shoes and had left them out to dry. saved!
we loaded up our laundry and headed out to school to drop it off at the laundry service. then… we made the mistake of hiking across town in the blistering heat to the new mall, la pradera. it was a very westernized mall, puma and lacoste dominated at scary western prices. in the food court, there was a taco bell, burger king, subway, and pollo campero.
exhaused and sunburned, we made our way back to mont blanc for blankets, fruits, a shower curtain, and other supplies at paiz.
afternoon spanish classes were cut short by an hour in order for us to attend a lecture on the rights of the maya.
the walk home was thankfully uneventful, as was dinner — mashed frijoles and plantains.
