Bought socks from a stall in the mercado. The woman folded each pair before handing them over. Thirty-five pesos. Went to the comedor inside the market around noon. Frijoles with tortillas and a little crema. The woman refilled the tortillas once. I ate them and left. Lay down and read through the afternoon. Went out again around six. Bought a tamale near the corner. Fifteen pesos. The lake was still flat. Back by seven.
