August 26, 1993

We went to Mercado Central. We shopped till we dropped. Every space, tent, dividers, were soooo interesting. Some sold their merchandise on a large cloth which they will wrap their goods at the end of the day, others had little tent dividers with tables. So many of the merchandises were hand made and so inexpensive. I considered how much each item would cost in US.

Afterwards we went to Pizza Hut. Boy oh boy did we need it. All of our stomachs were queasy by now. We were all having diarrhea problems and it seemed we could not carry enough toilet paper rolls. We loved the feel of clean restaurant, clean air, and clean food (trusting American style). Kids washed their hands for a long time under running water. That felt wonderful!
