I've recently said how important supermarkets are to us in our adopted winter locations. Learning where to shop is an important step in getting acclimated. I do enjoy documenting ordinary life because, when looking back, everything seems more special than it seemed at the time.
For example, during the five months we spent in Luxor, Egypt, I have fond memories of our grocery shopping habits whether we took the ferry across the Nile or a bus to the Qurna outdoor market. Looking back on a life elsewhere includes buying the staples. Even without checking this blog, I can think of the other winter locations where we shopped in Puerto Vallarta, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Siem Reap, and Minuwangoda.
Getting food is a very basic necessity. That's why acquiring new shopping habits must be quickly adopted in a new place. Today's entry will eventually become just one more reminder of our days in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
