A Saturday at the mall (Saturday)

Today, we took it easy.  Sewellyn was feeling better, but it seemed prudent not to push it.  So we puttered a bit and then took off for the Mall.

El Dorado Mall to be exact.  Turns out it was the first mall in Panama though it doesn't strike one as being old.

First, we stopped for lunch at Niko's.  It was, as usual,  good and (relatively) cheap (by US Standards  ~$9/person).

Then, we set out for The Mall.

We went to the phone store first to put money on the phone that came with the apartment.  I had put $10 on it shortly after I arrived, but that had expired, so we added money.  And I added both talk time and data to my phone.  Which is a good thing because we've needed to use it to communicate.  Duh!

En route to the grocery store, Rey, we saw this:

A riding animal

Medicine for your heart
(it contains a rosary)

We made it to Rey where we had a great time finding good things to eat.  And there were even some gluten free crackers and Tofutti "guacamole cream cheese" which was surprisingly good on beans.

We trundled home, filled with expectation of the wonderful meals ahead.

It's so nice to have a friend here!  (Esp. a friend who's not throwing up)
