Verdad! Before I left home I had to reset......

...my name and passwords. I had cookie issues. Phil got me through the CSBB but I failed to make the grade in the TSBB. Since I´m niether fish nor fowl at this time anyway, folks might not give a hoot about my Guatemala posts but hey, I´m an old bulls%&$$er as you know and can´t help myself.

Gotta go shopping again today for victuals, about every two days. Good walk to the Bodegona and market and sometimes I can find what I was looking for. When my stepson and his gal came down, they returned from the market...open air...with tons of stuff and made a great dinner with plants to eat I´d never heard of, tasty but complex. I stick to vegetales I recognize like broccoli and green beans, hamburger and skirt steak, o.j., and so on. I can´t seem to find fish which is odd ´cuz it´s all I ate in El Rosario but pork and it´s variations, cheap beef, and chicken and turkey are the offerings I find in the Bodegona. Sometimes I go to a carniceria where meat hangs just inside the doorway but I keep forgetting where I´ve seen it. I have to have walked by it to find it. The street signs in Antigua are a bit unreliable and being a ¨landmark guy¨in a town with several hundred year old National Treasure walls on every street makes it hard to even have a landmark to work from.

I´m resting a day or two from sight seeing as when the rest of the fam gets here on Sunday, the kids come back from El Rosario, it´s gonna be busy as everyone tries to see everything in about ten days.

But I digress.......thanks for the help, Joe. As I´ve so often said, you´re a saint among men. No really, I´ve said that a lot.
