Today the bus ride to work was better, even though I felt tense the entire ride. I am supposed to be getting a Product C t-shirt today to wear in the production plant, instead of the chef's coat Demian gave me. On the bus ride home yesterday, the people sitting around me were sniffing and frowning, one woman even held her nose. Work today was pretty much the same as yesterday, I cut 15 kg of corvina for ceviche, and then helped Henry wrap tuna. For break today, Henry had gone to the Fresh Market and purchased baugettes and a container of sour cream. Products here in Costa Rica are not packaged in plastic bowls, but rather in plastic pouches with a spout/lid. I had never had a baugette dipped in sour cream, but let me tell you, it is good. As I was leaving work, it started to rain, and I was not prepared, so I was drenched by the time I arrived home. Since I am only allowed to wash clothes one time a week, I washed out my Product C t-shirt and hung it to dry overnight (Oky's clothes dryer is broken). Do you know how many times you have to wash a shirt by hand to get the fishy smell out? 7 to be exact, and 7 rinses as well. Dinner was beans and rice, a little study time and then to bed.
