Dogs

Day 2: There are roaming dogs here everywhere, and they know when to walk with crowds and to cross on green lights. Today, we saw: 2 cats, 1 llama and 29 dogs. Took the metro and walked/rode the funicula up to San Cristobal to see a giant statue of the Virgin Mary. The food here is fantastic; rich milk and yogurt, and we could eat the empanadas non-stop. Dave and walked for about 2 straight hours this afternoon while the kids rested; we're still looking for a good place to live. Went to the supermarket; they sell live sea urchins in the seafood aisle!

Tonight, we ate at an unbelievable Italian restaurant and Molly ate brain for the first time. Tomorrow, Mass in Spanish; Max can recite the "Lord's Prayer" in Spanish already.

Detail of the day: It is customary to tip 10% in restaurants, etc., not 15-20% as in the USA.
