A home-cooked meal (Thanks, Jason)

Monday was another fairly lazy day for us. This is partly due to the fact that we still don't have our car back. We just woke up late (for me, 8:45 has become late) and hung around until about 2:30 when Mark came and picked us up to go check on the car. We got there only to find out that he still hadn't had a chance to look at it yet. We're supposed to come back later this afternoon (Tuesday) to see what's up.

After that, we hit up the grocery store. We now show at a place called Solomon's, which is the closest they have to a Walmart here, but with mostly groceries. We even got a 3lb box of Honey Nut Cheerios for the hefty price of $12.99. We came back home and put our groceries away, and I was suprised at how little we brough home for the money we spent. So is life here.

After that, Manuela picked us up and took us to the Grocery store (again) where we got some food to cook a dinner at her place. Jason actually cooked the chicken and fries, put together the cesar salad kit, and made the Daquiri's (unleaded) which was wonderful. *edit* My mistake, Manuela did coock the fries and arrange the salad. */edit* Of the four of us, only Stefan actually likes eating out all the time. Jason, Jonathan, and I prefer to eat at home on plates, which is part of what made the meal so great.

Afterwards, Manuela played a few songs for us that she'll be recording in the next month or so, which was quite a treat. Hopefully we'll be able to get a copy of the CD before we head back.

We then jumped in the pool for a while. It was nice and warm, helping us cool off from the hot days we've had with heat indexes well into the 105-110 range. It was actually wierd, though, to swim without the added boyancy of salt water, but nonetheless, it was great.

We headed home and (can you tell I'm losing steam?) went to bed fairly soon after. Thankfully, the night cooled off enough to allow another good nights sleep.
