We finally checked exactly what the temp. was last night after we walked home after dinner (2am). It was 33 degrees F!!! What did we have to wear? I had a cami, long-sleeved shirt, sweater and WINDBREAKER. Alan fared a little better in his shirt, fleece pullover and Columbia jacket.
At dinner at Acabar--a fabulously funky place that has dinner and board games for everyone (think Rimsky's meets the Alameda Brewhouse-kind of, but not really) we talked to our waiter and found out where to get some space heaters.
Coto was the answer. Coto is a super market, along the lines of Fred Meyer (US) or Dunnes (Ireland), and if you look at the website, they have four different kinds of markets: minimercados, supermercados, hipermercados, and maximercados. So we walked a couple of miles to the hipermercado. But they were sold out of heaters. So we walked another half mile to the maximercado and successfully bought two space heaters. Yay!!!
Along the way, we found a fantastic fish shop where we're sure to go back to get food to make for dinner another night. As it was, we bought a couple of empanadas to tide us over. (Thank goodness, we had no idea how far we were going to be walking!)
This is good practice for me, since I realize I didn't take any pictures of either the fish shop or Coto. I'll make sure not to make the same mistake again.
I did, however take pictures of our fabulous breakfast. Yummy!
Hmmm. the pictures are taking forever to upload. I must do that tomorrow...
Bye for now, hope all is well with you,
Nicole and Alan
