For the past few weeks we have been waking up sore. We realized the mattress we have been sleeping on needed replacing. So we went to a mattress store and bought a new one for 1/20th of what our mattress cost back home. It was delivered today. I went to the market place and saw a 1 kilogram block of butter. I had to buy it. It cost just over $3.

On my way out of the market place there is a tamale stand. I bought a few tamales and ate one when I got home for lunch. It was really good. Most of these tamales are wrapped in what I think are banana leaves and not corn husks.

We picked up the kids and had home made clam chowder for dinner. Our oldest’s favorite meal.

This weekend the school has some fundraiser race thing I’m not participating in. I’m excited to watch my kids run something but I’ll be sitting this out. After dinner our kids made banana and Nutella sandwiches.
