Day 13: After 10 days of eating scrambled eggs sin carne as part of our limited but free breakfast, we were asked: "Would you like a vegetable omelette?" Yes, of course! The omelettes have been delicious with long strands of green beans, asparagus, broccoli, carrots, and more.

We generally eat breakfast late, around 11 am, after morning exercise and some work time. Cristina still needs her 4 or 5 pm refuel, but Amby can generally get away with just a banana smoothie before dinner. That's $1.25, thick and delicious.

Dinners at nice places have been costing about $25 for two, including drinks. Amby's threatening to go to a few "dives" where two cold beers and some bean and cheese quesadillas would be about $8. Hasn't happened yet, but he's expecting Gary to join the quest soon.

So, as you can see, food is cheap. We're trying to convince ourselves that we're saving money by spending 6 weeks in Oaxaca. No doubt that is true about food as one of several basic expense items.

Yesterday Amby got a haircut for $3. This morning Cristina left for her Houston weekend, and the conference where her grandfather's poetry will be presented.
