OKAY, OKAY...IT WAS OVERCAST!

Yesterday was an overcast day but a very enjoyable one. Some days have been really hot walking around the city. So having a cloudy day was greatly appreciated.


For lunch we had tasty shrimp cocktails near Mercado Hidalgo. We decided to have pollo milanesa, rice with black beans, broccoli, mushrooms, and salad for dinner. We went back to Carniceria Miguelito’s and talked with Dora and her husband, Roberto. We also met their daughter, Doris. She is 19 years old and attending a university in Mexico City studying geo-physics. Her English was very good. We asked for the best tienda to purchase pollo. They told us which one; we went there and purchased four pieces of pounded chicken breasts for pollo milanesa.

Now we had to purchase our fruits and vegetables. We saw our amigos and they assisted us. Sam wanted to purchase some pomegranate seeds to eat, so we did. After spending four hours walking around today, we headed home with very tired feet.

Every night, Bob tries to watch FOX News with Bret Baier. Last night was no exception. After the news, we began cooking. If you haven’t noticed, it is one of our favorite pastimes here in Oaxaca. Bob decided we would need a sauce for our pollo milanesa; he took some of the pomegranate seeds and blended them in a small food processor, added some mango nectar, and a little sugar. It was delicious with the pollo. It was kind of like cranberry sauce.

After dinner we watched the Discovery Channel and decided to go to bed. Buenas Noches!
