Potholes

So yesterday I decided that I needed to get out of the apartment. Doug gave me a very small shopping list but nonetheless, it'd get me to the supermercado. The house keeper and I ventured out into the sidewalk after I bundled up thinking it was cold. As soon as I stepped into the sun off came my scarf and sweater. The weather was beautiful. Can't tell you exactly but I would guess it was above 50 degrees. Sally was in her red stroller and we slowly made our way up the slight incline to the store, dodging potholes and bumps and people. I now know why everyone would double take at us. The bright red stroller was a form of loco-ness on streets like this. Whatever, it wasn't that bad. I had to stop twice just to catch my breath, still not used to activity in the altitude. We passed a Nissan dealership and a Cinema that was brand new and had a mall inside it. The Cinema was open and functioning even though it's not complete. Hmm, I guess they wanted the income. We had to cross the street to get to the store and even with the 'walk' sign on the drivers still flew by! We had to quickly run across the street when there were 2 of 3 lanes were stopped. Frogger anyone! Inside the market I couldn't believe how cheap, like rediculously cheap everything was. I felt like I was robbing them. A large shampoo for men, $2 (14.75 Bs). It was like getting nice things at the dollar store. So I just bought more than I was planning (kind of like you do at walmart) because it was nothing. At the checkout my total was like (90 Bs) $12!! And I couldn't pay for it. So I had to leave sally with Nora, didn't have to but it'd be faster for me just to run down the hill back to the ATM and get some Bolivianos (Bs). Have way through getting cash I was starting to freak out! Thinking "oh my gosh, I think I know the housekeeper but what if she's trying to sell my baby right now." Ah! so I ran back up the hill, which didn't seem to phase me this time. She was already walking down to meet me and left Sally with me and she went to get the groceries. :) I'm such an idiot, she was fine.
Well I don't want to bore you. We are enjoying taking it easy. My appetite is back. But Miss Sally spiked 101.3 fever in the night. I think she's cutting the rest of her molars from what I can see but it's still a little nerve wracking thinking we're in a 3rd world country and my baby has a fever...prayers are welcomed. Thank you.
