Sam's Club and Walmart Arrive in La Paz!

Ok, my absolutely, positively, 100% least favorite store in the United States is Walmart.
Hands down.
K-Mart is a close second.
So as the world will someday be known as "Wallyworld", they take over La Paz...
And I actually want to go there.
Well, we need saline solution for our eyeballs.
We ventured into Sam's Club yesterday.
Great meats!
3000 pound sacks of flour!
Decent prices!
Mayonnaise jars the size of Alabama!
Good produce!
Boxes of 2500 granola bars!
Cheap wine!
So that is what we checked out.
The cheap wine.
We bought several bottles and held a red wine tasting on the boat last night with Alex and Sue of "Maitairoa".From left to right:
The winner!
Vina Maipo 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile ~ $46 pesos / $3.49 US a bottle.

Don Simon Tempranillo from Spain ~ ok for table wine, but at $24 pesos / $1.86 US a bottle, still a winner!

Opera Prima 2007 Tempranillo from Spain ~ really good and at $38 pesos / $2.90 US even better!

Opera Prima 2007 Shiraz from Spain ~ different with a floral hint to it, which Sue and Heather liked, but Alex did not ~ still good for $38 pesos / $2.90 US!

Opera Prima 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon ~ oh such sad faces on this one... the bottle was fizzy. A bad bottle. We will use it for wine coolers and buy another one for tasting next time... $38 pesos / $2.90 US.

We TASTED.

But the tastes added up and somehow we got onto a conversation about our shoes.

And how many pairs of Crocs we each own.

Here is my collection.
I won.

Then we walked up to Super Burro for dinner.
Yum!
Another fun evening with fun people in La Paz!
