Well Tanner, Erin, Lindsey, and I all just got back from our first time on the streets without a guide. ¡Que emocionado! (How exciting!) We were going to go shopping for some little things that we needed, but we needed some pesos first. We walked to Tres Cruces, the nearby shopping mall. There's a cambio (money changer) and ATM across the corner that's open on Saturdays, so we each made sure we had enough money to buy what we needed. Lindsey even used both the ATM and the cambio because the ATM gave her a large bill, so she asked for "mas pequeño dinero" from the man at the cambio. He broke it up into smaller bills and we went into a store called TaTa (like a big Dollar General) to buy snacks, soap, shampoo, etc.
The only mix up we had was that we didn't know you're not supposed to walk into TaTa with bags, so we had to figure out how to get a locker at the front of the store. Other than that, it was a smooth trip to the store. We walked all the way there and back to the Casa without getting lost, and everything. I think Lindsey even knew where we were most of the time!
Well, I gotta go take pictures of the house, Chao!
