El Ten Ten Pie is slang for 'a little piece', it also means 'foot' but I'm guessing the name of this cafe was going for the former as it's a great place to stop in the afternoon for a little piece of food (snack or , as in our cases - MILKSHAKES! ) I took Erin on a whirlwind tour of the town trying to help her establish her bearings before we turn her over to the Casa folks this evening. I think she's feeling pretty amazed and a little bit over-whelmed, but I also know it will all come together for her and she is going to have an amazing experience here in San Miguel.
First stop: El Banco for pesos and we were ready! Next stop coffee for me and tortilla soup for Erin, plus escadota quesadillas for the two of us to share. YUM! (escadota we discovered was 'chives,' but it was fun ordering an unknown and learning we liked it. Next it was down the street and around the corner to an Internet Cafe because we hadn't been able to get the wireless to work at the penthouse then El Bibliocoteco, the library, to sign up for Spanish-English conversions next Tuesday - to practice our Spanish and help others with their English. We completed the circle of the city retuning to 50 Quebrada to hook up with Pam then out again for a stop at El Ten Ten Pie for a milkshake before visiting Parque Juarez to see what was left of the flowers of Candelariaia. Three very tired ladies returned to the casa for rest, plus one very tired little pooch, before out dinner date tonight with the staff from Casa de Los Angeles. I am in envy of Erin and the experience that lies before her. I too must reutn to San Miguel sometime for a month or more to read to little ones and helping in whatever way I might.
con mucho carino,
