She ate, she drank, she got sick...They aren't kidding when they say not to drink the water. Actually, it was some of the food that made her sick. But this didn't deter Margaret from sightseeing. She hiked and visited various shops and looked around until she found the right pot to bring back home. The pot she brought back for me was only 35 pesos (about $3). Actually, she brought back two. One broke and she gave me the one that wasn't broken. I glanced at her kitchen table and the broken pot was lying there. I offered to give it back or at least share it. What a sacrifice she made. She called her Mexican friend and a bean pot is on its way to Margaret's house. She didn't miss out after all. All I have to do is figure out how to cook in it. The instructions are on their way back from Mexico.
Reminds me of the time I brought a tagine back from Morocco in my carry-on bag. I was oh-so-careful with that bag every leg of the trip, and had to check my carry-on bag during the last leg as it was too big for the smaller plane's overhead. When the baggage handlers were unloading it they dropped it to the pavement.
ReplyDeleteThat is what happened with my friend. The baggage handlers didn't put it back in the bag the way it came out and it broke during transport. While I was in Morocco, I had bought a lovely bowl but dropped it about 10 feet from the place. I didn't go back for another. Now, I wish that I had. I may never go there again.
