So we're settling in to our new apartment in San Salvador, El Salvador, our home away from... well, where we used to call home. We're volunteering for 3 months with a
young non-profit that's affiliated with where I used to work in Chicago, and in exchange we got set-up with a pretty cozy apartment and a few other perks. More to come about that, for now, we talk about
shopping.
Our place is furnished, but we needed the essential things like dishcloths, hangers, and wine glasses, and like most ladies starting a new job, I needed a new outfit. I think I almost fried Kyle this weekend though, because we made two trips to the same grocery store and bought stuff from five malls (including 2 more grocery stores). Now we didn't over do it, and we only spent about $100. It's just that so much is different here, and there's no Super Target to one-stop-shop. We have no car to just load up the back seat, so it was tougher than home. It was actually sort of funny because I ended up carry a two pack of pillows around for a while and into a movie theater.
