Good stuff here, thats for sure. Except their ice cream. Its not very good, has no flavor and some of it feels like it has sand in it. I bought a cone from a street vendor yesterday, one of those with a chocolate shell. It looked good, but was blah.

Was in the hardware store looking for new fencing and saw these two ceramic "peace frogs", I got the turquoise one and put it on my dashboard...of course if the airbags ever deploy someone will have a frog shaped scar...The kind of goofy thing that gives you a daily smile :lol:

Ive seen those but never tried one. I like the corn soup the vendors sell. Delicious.

Last thing I spent money for is 20 pesos to my cleaning lady to do some typing for me. She is fast, she did in an hour what it would have taken me 3 days to do. I use the Columbus system, I find a key and land on it. :lol:
