Caught In The Rain

Sorry we don't have too much fun stuff to share today. It was a quiet and relaxing day. We tried to start our day with a great breakfast from the hotel downstairs (it always looks so good), but since Luke slept until after 8:30 and breakfast ends at 10:00, we'll have to try that another time. We really had nothing planned to do for the rest of the day so we headed out this afternoon to this taco place Kenny had been wanting to try since the Kuligowski's mentioned it last week. It is called A Todo Taco (I think). It wasn't too far from our apartment, maybe a fifteen minute walk in a nice area. The food was really good. When we were just finishing eating it started to rain, actually it was hailing. So we spent some time at the taco place until it finally stopped. We amused ourselves and Luke by taking pictures of each other, so enjoy them. We know football season is over, but we thought we could sneak in one more time with his Eagles outfit/bib before he starts wearing his great Phillies gear. Once the rain stopped, we walked around a bit and picked up some gifts for our family. We were almost back to our apartment when I thought we should stop in one more grocery store in my search for pretzels. It's strange, but I don't know why it's so hard to find pretzels here. We've tried everywhere: exito, carulla, cafam, little grocery stores along the way, and no one carries pretzels. I take that back. Carulla carried pretzels but they are all out. I even tried on Sunday with my very bad Spanish to ask one of the workers why they were out of pretzels. But enough on the pretzels. The point of it all was that we found a Carulla express right up the block from our apartment and I thought just maybe I could find what I wanted there. And just then it started to rain again. Not a good situation when you have no umbrella and a baby in a stroller. So we walked very quickly and made it back before we got too wet. Mom, no worries, it was only a light drizzle at that time and Luke was dry under the cover of his stroller. And by the way, no pretzels at Carulla express either. When we got back we had a great time skyping with our family. It was my grandmothers 80th birthday today and our whole family gathered to celebrate with her. We were fortunate we were able to skype with them and wish her a happy birthday from so far away. Well, Kenny is sleeping and Luke is teething and is fussing a bit, so I'm going to check on him. And thanks for posting a comment Jennie. It's nice to meet you and thanks for sharing about your FANA family. It's pretty neat that our sons share the same birthday and name.
