I'm off with a list to go buy some things at the south market, although I know the money won't stretch for all that is on the list because I just realised my shoes have got a hole after a good 6 months of wear. not bad for 60peso though!

This is the stop for the collectivo

Its an anarcho socialist union, bless them, I like the concept though, although if they only knew Black and Gold and anarcho capitalism, then I am certain they would never us red again. Its a union for who I am not sure, "the unions of unions" part of its states.

I decided to treat myself to eating some meat, so I stopped at my favorite place for Gorditas and Pork . I KEEP NEEDING TO REMEMBER TO COLLECT MY LAUNDRY..

hopefully that worked as a final reminder. While I wait for the food, I need to re-write the to get list in order of importance, so that I buy what I really need first. Everyday it changes!

I got to look at cooking pots soon and would rather get one of those than new sandals, as I still have boots to wear. I only have a 2 liter pot, which prevents me from cooking so much and then I don't eat so much.

I'm hoping that in 7 days from now, my body shall be rid of all parasites after a good 12days of taking DE and I can get on top of feeling good and maintaining body mass. Keeping hydrated to is so important - is it normal to feel that I could drink 20liters in 24hours? It feel like thats what it would take to keep me hydrated and its not even that warm here.

Its 9.33am.and the place is packed out already, I think I might have been forgotten about, or they are waiting for the deep fried chunks of pork to be ready. I am hungry Hahaha..

Ive started to add pasta again to my diet as its cheap and some how my body crave carbs. I might weigh myself if I see someone with scales on the street. The people selling coffee use human scales and you can pay to weigh yourself too.

Well they have been destroyed already and are in my stomach! At least I remembered to take a photo of the evidence before this time.


Next to the carnitas is a shoe shop and I ended up getting some sandals in the style of crocs. These look much sturdier and the soles won't wear out so fast.

I went to buy some lard, without this is hard to cook with so its on top of the list. Cooking oil is firstly bad for the health and its not so nice to cook with.


Tortillas was top on the list too and newly in the market thee was some people making the real ones by hand and with the better corn variety. The yellow one are better than the white so I waited until they were ready.

They dont like being in photos so it was in discretion..

Another thing I got was ground roasted pumpkin seeds, it wasn't on my list but I got 100eso worth because pumpkin seeds are anti parasite.

That reminds me, last night at casa satoshi, I was given papaya seeds as they are good anti parasite too. I put a load in my mouth and began to chew. It was so wrong I could taste exactly why they are good at removing parasites from the body. So bitter, and with hints of other discussing tastes.. I gagged a lot and my mate asked me what was wrong. He said "Your not meant to chew them, just swallow!"

I think its a hack to bare the taste and chew them, even though not swallowing them I'm sure the tongue absorbed a concentrated hit of that medicine lol

I'm back at my tent and going to have a siesta as the park don't open today and then I got to get things done. Enjoy these pics from the market!
