Day 2

Day 2 wasn't near as exciting as Day 1, but still part of the adventure. In the morning, we went into the nearby town for a couple of errands, and had lunch at a fairly new restaruant. Bill likes to frequent this place as the owner speaks English and the prices are very reasonable.

Even better as far as my kids are concerned is that they have children around the same ages to play with. They all had fun while the adults visited.

Now, off to Veracruz City - or as it is called in our area "la puerta" Or Veracruz porte. We went to get some various things for Oasis. After that - we spent about 2 hours at Walmart getting boring mundane stuff for the house.

Bill had been living like a bachelor- 3 plates, some really cheap crappy utensils, one pot and one frying pan. Yeah right. He couldn't believe how much all that 'stuff' cost. In comparison with Canada, it was a little bit cheaper, but most appliances, household items, etc. are only about 10-15% cheaper here, a few things are more expensive. Its the food and everyday living items that are sooooo much less expensive in Mexico.

Well after a full day of shopping, it was time to head home - again - and late again.
