We stopped at Maribel Dulce's fairly early in the morning. Ana and I had planned to give her a calculator and a notebook so she could take better stock of the empanadas she was selling. She was, as we thought, tickled to death with the thought of owning a calculator.
Our visit to Dina and Ramon was equally successful. Ana and I stopped at the grocery store last weekend for a frame to fit a nice familiy picture we had taken. When we gave them the picture, Gilbert, the three-year old, connected with it promptly. He liked sitting down with the picture and repeating "mommy, daddy, and Jaely" (his sister). Later on, we were able to get another good picture of them by the fogon (traditional stove):
We got back from the mountains late that afternoon, and Adam made a lovely dinner of breaded chicken breast and rice pilaf. So it was all in all a very laid-back day: good friends, good work, and above all, good food!
