How Do You Say "Baking Powder" in Spanish?

I know how. I think. It's "levadura en polvo". That's what Google Translator tells me. Now why don't they have that at the store? I know it's a small store, but isn't that a staple? The clerk was helpful but I think what she was trying to sell me was yeast. That won't work. Other than little glitches like this, Monteverde Whole Foods is great and we're lucky it's within walking distance as the next closest store is in Santa Elena and I don't want to travel that far. Plus these people don't get upset if Hector wanders in. So I don't have to worry about him snapping at toddlers while he's tied up outside. For some reason children are drawn to this dog. Go figure.


They sell eggs by the weight.

The produce prices.
That's half the store there.
And the other half.
The clerks are really friendly. And Hector likes them!
Love their tree. And to the left is their lending library!
That's Barbie. She's pretty cute. The clerk told me she's viejo. That means old. I think she's looking pretty good for her age.
And this is the bakery department.

The produce department.
