I highly doubt we’ll be in Colorado before then. So perhaps we’ll have to meet up in Ecuador!

I accidentally spoke Spanish to a woman in the store the other day, and she looked horrified. I almost thought she was going to scream.

SO much crap food. And so much of it is tempting, too. LOL

It was also a readjustment to say Hello and Thanks instead of Hola and Gracias. I loved going to the supermarket and having such a wide range of food to choose from although I definitely noticed all the crap food too

No cuttlefish-flavored chips either. Or bags of watermelon seeds.

Being allergic to corn while in the US would definitely make for a challenge. Wow!

I do miss the laughing kids everywhere. Now that we’ve been here a bit longer, a big change is not seeing people outside their homes. In Mexico (probably because of the heat), in the evenings people are outside visiting and kids are playing in the street. In this housing community, I haven’t seen a single person sit on their nice porch, no kids outside playing.

LOL! Yes, I do remember that! That one outlet thing was absolutely nutso.

The sticker shock is a big one for sure. Tigger is used to being able to just add stuff to the cart, and this time I was like “Wait! How much is it?” lol Poor kid.
