Monday. 01.24.11 To the mechanic’s with Raul and Chedraui

Today, we were going to borrow Tio’s car to go to Chedraui, but when we were leaving “Tio” Raul came over to borrow it as well. Turns out he was going to a mechanic, so we asked to tag along. We ended up taking our car, because Tio’s car was acting a little funny. It was nice to have Charlena on the road again, she’s pretty much been parked since we got to the city.
After we were done with his stop for the mechanic, we dropped him off at home and the two of us left again to go to Chedraui, the local thriftier supermarket. One thing we’re still not used to is how and what it’s custom to tip for here. In some places there are “parking attendants” in places where you have to pay for parking and in places where parking is free, and they don’t seem to do too much, but they wait as you’re backing up to ask for a tip. It’s interesting.
