Day 344

Here are a few photos of the blouses, and the other things, we bought at La Ciudadela, yesterday.

The black material for the blouses, and one of the dresses, is a very light weight cotton, similar to a mans handkerchief, or, better yet, silk, and can be worn in either direction.

I will need these, very soon, as the heat, outside, is already becoming increasingly hot. Inside, here, it rarely gets above seventy two, or, seventy three degrees. The Vornado air circulator helps keep it cool, too; also, I should mention, we are on the West side of our building, with another building, again, to our West, blocking the sun in the afternoon. Yay!

Blouse one. Both sides are identical.

Dress one, large enough to be comfortable.
Dress two, less comfortable, and, made of linen.
A new, larger copper vessel to make larger batches of authentic carnitas. (I could eat carnitas every day of the week)!
Our painted copper vase.

Above, are all of the things that came back, with us, from La Ciudadela. We are sure glad they did, too. We will, however, have to go back, because several items did not make it into our trunk.

We have yet to buy a few tablecloth’s, placemats, wooden spoons, small terra cotta dishes to hold salsas, salt, etc., and, a new blanket for our bed. Also, planters to hold the larger, and smaller plants that will be in other rooms of the condo, not just in the living room.

Until we get all of that done, stay happy, stay healthy, stay safe. Wash your hands, cover your mouth, and protect your loved ones.
