So our first order of business after settling in was to find something to wear and something to eat. No car, no malls, no idea where to go to find what we needed - let alone in the right size, color, fabric and style for us to at least not look like we just arrived from another planet!
But after some suggestions from the apartment keeper Eva, we set out on the SUBTE (BA's underground trains) to the shopping area. We found all kinds of shops - but no clothes. Finally we found a shop for "personal items" and knew we could at least change something - even if we had to put the same clothes from the flight back on us (or not once we got home!) The ladies there (next posting) were most kind to us and gave directions and suggestions for all kinds of things (about 10 blocks away!)
So we were able to find something after a nice "early dinner" (6pm) and got some shirts and a few shorts and flip-flops. The big dinner (starting here about 9pm) had to be skipped -and it was home to do some laundry and to go to sleep for the night.
