Settling into our new life

We actually live in Boco Del Rio (Mouth of the River)

We can cross the highway in front of the temple, and be at the beach, walk on the beach two miles and be at the mouth of the river, where this picture is taken

My favorite food here in Veracruz is Camarones and I have learned to prepare them

Yummy, Yummy

I shared my shrimp sauce recipe with a restaurant here

Every meal is complete with fresh fruits and vegtables


The fruits and vegetables in Veracruz are always fresh and wonderful, however we soak everything in a disinfectant for ten minutes before using. We have never gotten sick from our own food. The Manila Mangoes are to die for and we have never seen such beautiful red, yellow and orange peppers. All their vegetables taste as if they were just picked fresh out of a garden.

And of course the shrimp have to be fresh

Now this fish is really fresh

 Their are alot of restaurants within walking distance, however they are expensive, never serve vegetables or salads. Our favorite place to eat is Carl's Jrs. and a little Oriental Restaurant in the mall, Las Americans. Hirum took us to a very fancy restaurant once and Robert got sick, since then we haven't eaten out much

Everything here, even in nicer areas of the city, is dirty. Garbage on the streets everywhere. When we first arrived we tried to clean up some of our walking areas, but finally gave up. The beaches are left natural, which is not a good thing

We are having a wonderful time here
together.
