Day 226 12/2/12 Classicos

Here are Michael and mum as they spend a lot of the day these days with Michael in the manta keeping a steady eye on everything happening in the house. Bob seems to be snoozing on the settee and behind you can see the calendar on the wall which people say looks like Michael. A little gringo baby in a cow costume with a sweet face adverting supplies for hat makers I think.



Rocio, Bob, Michael and I went to the street market today and walked up and down a few blocks of it. It is truly huge, Rocio estimates that it is 10 city blocks long and I have never walked it all. It was busy and crowed and we were careful not to get our pockets picked.
We stopped to eat Classicos, another long waited for treat a bit like rice pudding and jam and Bob bough himself a set of pan pipes. We bought a few practical clothes for Michael, especially the socks we forgot to pack and had a very nice time being the gringo tourists.
This evening Gloria came to visit and when she visited took Michael with her to go play with Curly. They only live two doors away but still it was a little difficult. We didn’t really leave it long until we followed and found Michael sitting up really well and playing pass the toys with Curly. He was pleased to see us but didn’t interrupt his games. He gets on really well with Curly, not quite sharing toys but more or less playing together.
