We grilled out one Sunday at Xavier’s uncle’s house (Nacho Bure). Here are some photos with Xavier, his father, sister, aunts and uncles.
We are in the front yard, under a banana tree (in the city).
of course there is cerveza
and dancing
to be continued into the evening at our house…

i don’t know for how long this will work so let’s talk while it lasts!
So I mentioned to people before that I wouldn’t really have many stories to tell or photos to post because I’m not traveling or doing anything exciting…just living a regular life with work, food, sleep, and the occasional cerveza (beer). So the more interesting parts of life now are learning to live with a partner (and his family) and the daily ups and downs of a relationship. While one day I am irritated with how Xavier does something, the next day I am joyful with how thoughtful and caring he is when he does something else. Oh yes….relationships.
So life is pretty uneventful…my highlights are going to the market on Sunday mornings when the people come from their farms bringing fresh, local, delicious, and cheap fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Although this is not that different than me living in DC, when my highlight was Saturday mornings going to the farmer’s market in Mount Pleasant when the people come from their farms bringing fresh, local, delicious, but not so cheap, fruits, vegetables, and herbs. As Xavier has noted to me, I am the most happy when I am buying food, preparing food, or eating food. This was also noted by me last year (oh no…was it 2 years ago now????) with my dear friend Kendra, when we realized that our entire lives outside of work revolved around buying plants (we would hit up the food markets on Saturdays together), preparing plants (we would make raw meals together a lot), and eating plants (we would of course eat the food after preparing it and we both love eating delicious and nutritious food).
Ah yes…the good life…
Photos of the market on Sundays, when the people come down from their farms to sell their produce in the city market. Much better than buying from the stores that buy from the coast. Buy and eat local!!! :-)
