fFarm

We went out to the farm to day. Took the things in the boxes icould not use and put them back into storeage. Saw the storeage building for the potateo. Saw few of the other part of the farm. The othe building on the different place. Most the work on the farm our night secerity to keep people from steeling thing. There are older man. While seeing the farm, we stop at a corn field it look good from the road but the plants were bring eaten really bad by worm. Two different worm one ate the top the other ate the bottom of the plant kill the whole plant.

We went shopping at Walmart. They take care of the food else you do not know how old it is and how clean. At Walmart they the worker wear masks. In the parking area you have men that help you with putting your food in your car and pulling out so you don't back into anyone. You tip them but they help alot. The tip is 5 paso. I wonder if you could get any one in the US to do that job?

Walmart arrange differently here. Spices are on one ailas with flour and sugar on another. Yeast was with the flour. The Sugar bag are small about double the size of power sugar. Poor Dad there is no cream of wheat down here. One ailse of cereals Few if any can goods. Boxs goods. We found one kind of chile afterlooking hard. We pick up plain bean to mix it with. We have a biger very of bean at home.Lots of tomateo in boxs little over half an ailse. They only had little boxes of yeast. Most of the people here eat corn tortia sell they in big boundle are wrap in paper. You can get few flour bundle when they have them. Small jar of peanut butter the small jar you get at home not cruchy and there only two kinds. They do have chocolate for spreading on bread. Few jar of jam. One alsie of Frozen food on one side. Lots of soda big container of it bigger then we get at home. Soda come in Apple, grapefruit , orange, Mango and ect. One Brand of potatos chip there plain or ripple. Melon are in season down here It hot enough I enjoy eating them.

Lot of people around the store to help you. Like an egg lady to tell uou about the egg and you don't look for broken egg.,Milk Lady to help you with the different kind of milk, and dairy produce in that area. Two bread lady, Sea food men, three butcher, Deli lady about three. Lots of fresh shimp but were only 10 mile from the sea. All the meat is slice thin like sandwich meat. No ham but there is pork but just little. Two brand of bacon and that in the deli area. Very little cheece and that in the deli area. We found butter but it was just one kind from new zealand . Tell Rob I ask if they had cow here mexico and they say yes. Maybe there not fat enough for making butter.Lots of fresh fruit and veg. Small area of can soup1/3 of what at home. No Stew, Ravolli and ect in cans or boxes. No fast meal boxes. Look like we will be eating differantly down here. We don't really miss any thing yet.

If we do get to missing some thing we have to go back to the border in a year to repaper the car.
