Enjoying the culture
Today, we took our missionary friends, Winston and Cheryl Collins, with us to introduce them to "hamburgesas al carbon" (a hamburger stand). They have the BEST hamburgers cooked on an open fire. Miguel and his family took us there after the TaekWondo tournament last Saturday, and we LOVED it! The hamburgers are "melt-in-your-mouth" and cheap-- less than $2.00 each and with your choice of toppings. When we went with Miguel, we fed 12 people (drinks included) for less than $30.00. Today's lunch was about $5.00 for both of us to eat! Dad, you'd LOVE these burgs! Anyone who comes to see us can look forward to this cultural event. Rob made fun of me for taking pictures, but this was truly a cultural event! Afterwards, the Collins and myself walked through the Tiangis (tents with vendors selling their wares). Rob had to get back to the office to do an interview, but we decided to take advantage of a beautiful day and ANOTHER cultural occasion. We took a taxi home (which was ANOTHER cultural experience!)
