Today's title is our favorite show and so appropriate since Jeff had a trim and a shave with a straight razor.
We got up early and found a windy day with gusts blowing through the trees. We got, got outta bed, dragged a comb across our heads... Could not resist - sorry! Anyway we went into Boquete early to walk around and explore a bit before school. We walked by the fire department and the beautiful Central Park. This is a large square in the middle of town with businesses of all types surrounding it. There is lots of seating and the location of many celebrations.
We walked up a side street and found a barber shop. Barber Lasso has an immaculate place and Jeff asked him to give him a trim. After using the translation app on his cell phone, Jeff felt confident that Lasso understood what to do. Jeff sat in his dated chair which had a large crank on the side to raise and lower the height and to lay it back.
A great job was done and Jeff is looking mighty guapo (handsome.) All this for $8.00!
We walked back toward the park passing the farmer's market where we shopped on Saturday.
On this side of the park we saw a large menorah that the Chabad Rabbi installed this past Chanukah.
We found several places to eat that had been recommended and also the Mandarin Supermarket. After almost two weeks we found steel wool pads. They are not Brillo or SOS, but they work and I am thrilled. Small things make me so happy. Still have not found dishwasher detergent, but will continue looking. They did have Tostitos Scoops and I can really enjoy my guacamole now.
For lunch we went to The Orchid which Brian recommended. We sat outside on the shaded porch.
For a whopping $8.00 we each had a lovely plate of food. I had stewed chicken - dark quarter - with rice topped with lentils in broth, and beets with mayonnaise topping. Jeff had pork slices with rice and a small salad -and a diet coke. Quite a deal and really good food.
We walked to school and delighted that our class this week is just the two of us. Tamara is our teacher and we covered so much material in our four hours. The photo below is the small shopping center where our school, Habla Ya, is located.
