| Where or Where Has the Canned Chicken Gone? What, you ask, does canned chicken have to do with Mazatlan? Well, its all about provisioning my dears. Provisioning is the act of turning yourself into a combination pack mule and crazed squirrel. First, you list out everything you think all three crew are going to eat, drink, use for the next month. The you run around Mazatlan buying things. What? The Mega store has canned chicken! Quick, grab a bus, load up the backpacks, not enough room? Fine, stuff your cheeks. Then race back to the boat and stow your goodies. buy, buy, buy, pack, pack, pack - eek! The baking chocolate is under the boxed corn! Quick, dig up your stores, move the chocolate to the freezer and continue. Wait, long-life cream at Walmart?? Run, grab a taxi and buy that cream. Yes, I have been reduced to a crazed hoarder locating all the obscure items we've decided we cannot live without. The rumors of Reese's peanut butter cups and Mountain Dew were, tragically, unfounded. |
