We went on a nice little tramp 'round malate.
looked at beautiful old buildings (pretty in spite of soot and age). had chocolate eh and fresh fresh pan de sal with butter and soft white cheese and cups and cups of coffee at Cafe Adriatico.
i like how conversation is never stilted with you.
Ended up at Robinson's Ermita. Had a great time rifling through secondhand books.
i got:
Written on the Body by j. winterson (i forgot to whom i lent my copy. you lucky minx)
Blink. 100 photographers, 10 curators, 10 writers
she got:
arne jacobsen (a small photo-book of his works) by christopher mount
understanding movies by louis giannetti
a trip to Japan Home/88php/Daiso yielded one essential find: those little straps that clip bedsheets down so they don't move around and get wrinkly.
i just put them in. you can bounce a peso in the sheets. yey.
we went to ACE Hardware. And found some decidedly fun things:
Funny paint stripper label
Cute floral hammers. I think it's combined with assorted screwdriver heads inside.
A... bug gun! Kill something Accurately. hayl.
A small, working Singer sewing machine
Miniscule designer chairs
I wanted this! :(
That had to be the most entertaining hardware store I've been to. Robinson's ermita branch, you are on the right track!
in passing, i would like to call your attention to the merry go round horses at Harrision Plaza. They are wearing multi-colored dusters on their heads.
How odd!
