Because it's Sunday

01.12.2004

Why's everything closed in La Paz on Sunday? And by "everything" I mean restaurants, specifically. Paola & I took a minibus all the way down to San Miguel in a drizzling day because I wanted to eat Thai food. Only 7:30pm and most of the restaurants were closed.

So. Back up to Sopocachi, hoping to find someplace open to eat. Closed, closed, closed. Only the "American" cafés were open. Instead of Thai & Indian cuisine, we ate greasy quesadillas at Café Alexander.

In all that running around, we missed the movie. Well, we could've still gone, but we were tired & cranky from all that up & down traveling by minibus.

Know what I miss most about the US? Things being open. I don't even mean "24 hrs" open. I just mean open at normal hours. Not closed from noon to 2:30 (and perhaps not open on time or closed early). I mostly just want restaurants to be open when I'm hungry.

Learn to cook! :-)

I do know how to cook. Actually, I'm pretty good at it. But. Most apartments come utterly unfurnished. So I don't have a functional kitchen (I do have a fridge, and make sandwiches, granola, etc). But if I want to eat a nice meal (out on a date, say), I prefer nice restaurants.
