Lee and I did some serious gringo-sized shopping today at Carrefour,the largest supermarket in town. We bought gigantic glass jars and cans of olives to serve as food to pica-pica (literally, nibble-nibble) in the hostel. We also bought 32-packs of pop, which I don't think have even reached America yet. I have to say though, my favorite was the case of Mahou beer advertised as "buy 23, get one free." Sweet deal.

The hostel is looking pretty fantastic, minus the fact that the ceilings are sinking in 8 out of the 10 rooms. Whoops. The ceiling boards are too heavy for the supports they put in, so they are kind of coming apart at the seams. Hopefully some emergency repair work early next week will fix the problem in time for all of our guests to arrive!

On our end, we have a little more furniture to buy, curtains to sew, and headboards to make. Still lots to do, but I'm not too stressed. Lee's losing enough sleep for the both of us!
