O.K., the honeymoon phase is over.

This place sucks.

Seriously.

The people trick you into thinking that they like you because they are all so in to saying hello like a thousand times. But in all actuality, they are just smiling while they are trying to figure out a way to rip you off.

Today we found out that the grocery store (the only nice one in town), has been double charging our credit card for slightly different amounts as to not tip off the bank. Real nice............ No wonder all the money we (the U.S.) sends here never materializes into anything. Even the grocers are corrupt. Hard to feed the hungry when the guy who sells the bread is a crook.


Anyway, all I can say is appreciate what you have in the way of food sources there in the U.S. We realized to day that all we really eat is candy and bread. Everything else that you have to cook costs a fortune. We cooked spaghetti for dinner the other night.

It cost us about $60. Noodles, sauce, ground "meat", coconut/pinapple juice.

The word for "gringo" here is "toobob". Maybe because when they see Bob they charge him two times.
