First Day

It's hot. In the afternoon, it's pretty much unbearable. The afternoon is when we decided to walk the 15 mins to the mall to pick up some necessary items for the house. Although the school put some essentials in the house for us (toilet paper, box of Cheerios, a jug of water), but they oddly didn't include some things like dish soap, hangers, or paper towel. They are taking us to Walmart on Tuesday, but because we want to finish unpacking (ie: needing hangers) we headed out to the mall today. On the way I almost melted; the air conditioning of the mall was essential.

Last night we went out to the mall to pick up laundry detergent so we could wash our sheets before bed. We hadn't had dinner, and it was after 8pm, which is when the mall closed (the grocery store stays open until 10). There were no restaurants around, and just lots of highway. We walked the sidewalks around this 200+ stores mall, trying to find somewhere to eat. We eventually came to this little open restaurant. They sold only tacos -- fish tacos to be exact. This little tortilla came with a fried piece of fish on it. There was a condiment/salad bar thing, but no lights near it, so we didn't know what anything was. So our first Mexican dinner was a plain fish taco....
