A Trip Shopping, Un Viaje de Compras

Not that we have not been shopping before, as a matter of fact I feel like that is all I ever do. Unfortunately I am usually shopping for food. My boys will soon eat the walls around us giving new meaning to eating us out of house and home. Seriously, they are ALWAYS hungry, ALWAYS!

Anyway, we had too big a load to walk back home without being bombarded with constant darts of whining and complaining about tired, sore feet and hands too small to hold a bag this heavy.
SO we opted for the local taxi.? Or should I say motorized scooter with a roof overhead. The kids loved it, well the ones that could fit in anyway. I chose to walk, and drug a few with me.





On the way home I managed to spy some A-typical western scenes, like getting a shave whilst squatting on the sidewalk, or children too young to dress themselves alone and unattended running through the streets, (cute as they were). I even passed a women with a bigger load than I had, making me feel not so weighed down, but a bit envious of her method of transport.




No es que nunca he ido de compras, porque parece que eso es lo que siempre estoy haciendo, pero es que siempre voy comprando comida!Mis chicos van a acabar comiendo las paredes de mi casa! Parece que SIEMPRE tienen hambre, y yo digo SIEMPRE!

Fue entonces, el otro dia, cuando no pudimos andar con todos nuestros compras, sin los ninos pequenos quejando y llorando, que decidieron ir (los que pudieron) en uno de los taxis locales! No es que fue un taxi, mas bien una motocicleta con un tejadillo, pero a los ninos les encanto!

Entre tanto, yo decidi ir andando con algunos de los ninos mas valientes atras! Mientras estaba andando, yo vi a ninos pequenos corriendo por las calles sin padres o alguien que los puedan cuidar! Tambien vi a hombres aceitando por las calles y a mujeres que llevaban cargos mas grandes que los mios y que los llevaban de una manera que, me dio envidia!!!
