Now that I’m pretty much back to myself, we are trying to eat healthy. Today was chia overnight oats for breakfast, salad for lunch and lentil stew for dinner. It did NOT include these cookies.
The warnings in the lower right are for excessive sugar, excessive fat, and excess trans fat.
They have more warnings than a package of cigarettes.
This is a picture of an arepa which is what Samuel taught us to make last night. It looks weird but is really good. Samuel is Venezuelan and this is a popular food there.
It’s basically a dough patty made out of corn meal, fried, baked then stuffed with different fillings.
He’s shown us how to make several times and I almost have it down .
He would let me form them, tell me they were perfect, then remake them when I wasn’t looking.
Jeff had no arepa training so wasn’t allowed to make them.
I’m feeling really good. So close to being back to normal!
Its hard to believe since I have so much clothing on, but I am at the swimup bar.
This little kid and his brother had their own mini convertibles. When he drove by us at breakfast I waved. He nodded as if he was a 19 yr old cruising for chicks.
The ocean was great, no waves and warm. There was a steep beach and I knew getting out would be hard and funny. I asked Jeff to take pictures.
After several tries, a mouthful of water and a somersault in the waves, Jeff had to put the phone down and rescue me out of two feet of water. He beat the nice lifeguard who was also walking toward me ready to pull me out.
It was a great day. We’ll be sad to leave tomorrow but it will good because we are both burnt.
Today I walked to the park. I was going to stop at the store too but was so a bit tired for that. Tomorrow I will be out of nadir! Then every day I should be able to do a bit more.
I went for a walk today and found a little door along the gate of a fancy apt building. As I was taking photos a security guard stopped me and told me to stop.
I showed him my Instagram page of doors and he understood. Well I don’t think he understood why I liked doors but understood I wasn’t snooping around. I then told him I’d delete the photos. He really lost interest when he watched me delete 20 photos of the same door.
Last night we had a great time with our friend Kimby. It’s always so fun and amazing to see friends from home in a foreign country. She was only in town for one night so it worked out perfectly that she was able to come over.
Today I was feeling up for a walk which was nice. I was walking so slowly I had time to look at the landscaped flowers along the way. I tried to take some pictures.
Most of them came out blurry, but I must have looked so funny slowly walking then stopping to jam my phone into the flower beds.
This is my attempt to take a selfie of what I looked like staring at the flowers. Super weird.
