spider sightings: 4 black widow spiders, 1 tiny tarantula, otherwise nothing scary. in the middle of summer there are more scorpions and stuff
food: a lot of the same food here only more Mexican...burritos, quesadillas, etc. A lot of people pushing carts around selling mexican hot dogs (dogos) and burgers and stuff. I got sick from a fish taco.
There are also lots of people who have set up little stands on the sidewalks selling food (we had some freshly made potato chips with lime and salt- we said no to the salsa), clothing, hats (sombreros), movies, music, etc. There's a stand outside one of the grocery stores that we like to go to that sells cd's and the guy is always blasting loud spanish music. It makes me wanna boogie.
Sorry there have been no pictures of us wearing the classic mexican sombrero yet. This place isn't as "Mexican" as you can get. It's sort of half-way between American and Mexican. Probably if we went to some of the bars and clubs, we would see more Mariachi bands and stuff. So far we have just seen one band as they were leaving a club. The accordian player let our kids push some buttons.
pictures: Ila and Mei with their caterpillar balloon toys (finally purchased from one of the two ballon guys in town after two weeks of promises to the balloon guy and to Ila and Mei. They broke them after an hour but are still playing with the various parts.), an old juicy fruit sign outside the corner store (mini super) half a block from our place, Liam in front of a hat/wallet/belt stand.

i am happy for you guys, that you are settling in. it seems like only two weeks ago we were parting. so do they have lots of roadside food shacks with beans and rice? i loved those places. and watch out for the ceiling fans, they bite. loves.
