Little things we are learning, part 1

I am trying to remember...

-TP goes in the trash can, not the toilet
-Greet everybody upon entering or leaving with a kiss
-Everything has a fine layer of black dust within 30 minutes of cleaning
-Don't panic about the miniscule distances between cars when merging or passing
-Temperature yesterday was 28, yet balmy
-If there is someone yelling out the window of the completely stuffed bus, then there is room for one or two more
-You don't have to buy from every sincere, desperate ice cream vendor who flags you down, even if he risks his life to stop traffic for you (we did buy from that one)
-At the market, a "limón" is small, usually green, and tastes like a lime, and a "lima" is the larger, more sour yellow-ish fruit
-If dinner out costs more than $5 for the family, you found a tourist spot

To be continued....
