To the Market

Here we sit in Marina Hemingway (in Havana) and we have a dilemna, we are out of cabbage. So it is market time! Within a 15 minute bike ride is the market of Santa Fe with a vary reasonable market, all in pesos. For todays shopping, the list is:

pineapple pina
15
papaya fruta de bomba
10
cabbage col
5
10 onions cebolla
5
10 carrots zanahoria
5
10 tomatoes tomate
3
2 green peppers pimiento
2
3 limes limon
3
1 cucumber pepino
1
5 bananas platano
1
6 buns pan
6
TOTAL:
56

56 pesos is US $2.80. Prices are good.

After shopping, I indulged in an ice cream cone and blew the budget, it was 1 peso. (that is 5 cents, yeah, I really know how to live!)

A little later on, we picked up a couple of cold beers at the store, 75 cents each (it was an expensive store). The final shopping of the day was a 750 ml bottle of white rum, $3.00.

We are within our budget.
