It was a National Holiday, too, so the Mall housing the medical clinic was teeming with shoppers and those seeking free cooling system.
Breakfast started with two pieces of local roll called pan de sal with cheese, and coffee, lunch was Cuban rice with carne with Spanish coleslaw and banana fritter, and dessert of low sugar yogurt topped with Macadamia and peaches, and dinner was a huge croissant with ham and bacon.
It was a meat day yesterday amidst the summer heat.
And then we found this mega sale of branded sports wear and sneakers at the Mall. Because we needed a pair of sneakers as the stress test required comfortable shoes and we left home with a pair of leather shoes on, we innocently walked in to browse and buy.
Just to get into the aisle of your shoe size required falling in line. The line was horrendously long.
We decided to leave but presto, there appeared infront of us several aisles where shoe sizes were mixed. Lots of boxes were also lying on the floor, perhaps abandoned by frustrated shoppers who didn't want to go thru the long queue into the cashiers.
Voila! We found a simple, black and white comfortable walking shoe, and also bought a black with multi-color stripes for the faithful navigator.
The queue to the cashiers was even longer, and took more than an hour. One guy four heads in front of me was in a sorry state when his purchase was found to be much more expensive than the price tag stuck underneath the shoe. He didn't buy the pair. I guess some loser exchanged the tags, and the poor guy didn't know about it.
We came in time for our stress test wearing our new sneakers.
