We went to visit our dear friends in Patio Bonito with one of our UWM area directors. After visiting for awhile with Rosalba and her husband she said she wanted to serve us hot chocolate, a common drink prepared with chunks of chocolate.
Her husband was headed to the little store in front of their house to buy what was needed. Nelson insisted on going. He bought a bag of milk, and the packages of chocolate chunks and spent $3,200 Colombian pesos ($1.79USD)-does that sound expensive? Well....
Before serving us our hot chocolate Nelson was talking with Abelrado about his business. He has a small cart that he uses to sell ice cream cones. The day before he made $3,000 Colombian pesos ($1.67USD). So, they were willing to spend a days wages buying what was needed to serve us hot chocolate!
