Pig in a Pig Pen

Monday, June 16th: Tonight we found our way to Le Marche, a ‘western style’ supermarket. The store is narrow and winds up (and down) three stories. It has most things we’d want to get, and get them we did! Antibacterial cleaning spray; cheddar cheese; fresh chicken breasts; yogurt; lettuce; pasta and sauce; cous cous; olive oil; bread. Yum!! The experience gets this title because that’s how we felt - and probably looked - scuttling around, more excited each time we saw something we needed or wanted. We came home (via auto-rickshaw) with several bags apiece. This time when we got home we didn’t feel the need to wash everything (everything) with soap and water like we did after returning from the local market. We ate a meal of chicken, cous cous and vegetables; refreshingly bland.
