So we got the sweet apartment! Tonight we went to talk to Senor Licenciado Amedor Gonzalez (our new landlord) aobut the possibility of taking the apartment March 1st for 2 months. So we talked to him and his cool with it. Tomorrow we are going to go back to sign a contract and to pay the rent to assure that March 1st it is ours!
But, in the meantime we are going to stay here with Alica and her mom in this wonderful apartment and pay part of the rent. Today I went with Alica and her mom to the big mercado to buy food. We bought beets, couliflower, green beans, black beans, potatoes, tomatoes, avocados, mamey, mandarins, plantains, onions, limes…what a wonderful place! Then we bought some jicama, coconut, ripe mango and green mango for a snack from a little old woman on the corner. Its been great to make food here all together, as we did last night and are doing right now. Tonight, being our first Friday, we’re going to go dancing with all of the other group members...should be interesting!
