Yesterday was one of those icky, sticky days. Paradoxically, "winter" here is more unbearable, weather-wise, than "summer"--while we wait for the rains to start, the humidity and pressure build and build until you are left praying for a downpour. Of course, you have to be careful what you wish for, because rains often mean extended power outages, i.e. no fans to cool off, no showers to get clean. Well, you either learn to live with it or run screaming back to northern climes.
In any case, I was happy to visit the nearest Eskimo store--about the only commercial brand of ice cream that exists here--and pick up a double scoop for 15 cordobas, or about $0.75. Can't beat that! Mmmm....coconut....

We had some dreadful "natural" popsicles the other day ... Lilah decided only Mama's would do, while Sølje's slowly but surely made its way onto every millimeter of her hair, face, arms, and front.
Last night's horchatas fared slightly better, with only half a glass ending up all over Sølje's pants before somebody got us a cup with a lid and a straw.
hI there, what a coincidence, I started a blog last week too! Funny how life works. I'll check back for more entries and feel free to stop by mine:
