Sunday was a Fun Day

We met friends Marilyn and Mike at one of the malls, had munchies there at Cafe Cafe, then went to a nearby market and wandered around for a while, buying asparagus, potatoes, carrots and limes. Then went to see M & M's new apartment near the ocean in Chorrillos. They actually can see and hear the ocean - and have a huge rooftop terrace! We also got to meet Ruby, Mike's greyhound who recently arrived from Florida and apparently traveled well. We love the Metropolitano cross-town bus and now that we've tried it out, I suspect that we'll be using it often. S/.1.50 (about 50 cents US) for a new modern comfortable (if you can get a seat!) "high speed" bus across town. Stopped on the way home at Cuatro D, our favorite ice cream shop, where we had pasta instead of ice cream and it was great! Speaking of ice cream, I think I've finally adjusted to the fact that here, ice is helado instead of hielo. That said, now that I think about it, I'm not sure what they call ice cream. I think it is also helado; got to pay more attention to that one.

 I'm pretty sure that The Tall Guy will have some stuff to add about our day, too. Maybe he will tell you about his new toy. (Hint: I'm going to use it to create a work of art)
CORRECTION on the helado thing:  A friend explained to me that they are not using "helado" as a noun, as in "do you want ice?" but rather as an adjective, as in "do you want it iced?" which seems to make more sense. I love it when people take the time to correct me and explain things to me.
