My friend Debra has specifically asked for more information and pictures on daily living. This post was created with her in mind.
This business sells vegetables from a warehouse. It is a great place to shop! There is a large variety of fresh veggies to choose from. The "tiendas" mostly stock fresh foods. Little processed foods can be found. Our diet consists of vegetables, fruit, meat, corn tortillas, fresh milk, cereal and a little bit of pollo (chicken) and carne (meat). That is it. Oh, and that doesn't count the local ice cream shop. Mike has found an ice cream bar that tastes like Tillamook Udderly Chocolate, a family favorite.
If we drive out of town, larger stores stock processed foods. Most stores are 3 hours away! Foods that we rarely purchase at home, like Oreos or Snickers, we will purchase here just for the sake of familiarity. It makes the kids happy to eat something "normal".
Mike enjoys shopping in the local market. The two of us walk to town daily to find (literally!) our goods. The stores are small and are spread out all over town. Since we can carry only so much, it requires frequent shopping.
