Moving on - Today I got to drive dewey and seira’s car....the people here are crazy drivers, the roads are very narrow, there are terrible pot holes everywhere, chickens, roosters, dogs, cats, horses or iguanas could be crossing the road at any time, its kinda like a video game but more serious!! It really wasn’t that bad, except that the car has no power steering so you get a great bicep workout trying to turn that sucker!
We had lots to do today: laundry (my first time at a laundry mat!! i may have gotten a little too excited about it but thats how i am :) !! There was a little girl maybe 3 in there with her mom and she made a comment about it being her first time in a laundry mat and chris had to go and say it was mine too!! They all looked at me like im crazy!! I guess I have led a sheltered life?!?!), while our clothes were washing we went to the farmacia (pharmacy) to ask the pharmacist about my ear infection and get some meds but the place was packed! You had to take a number, mine was 78 and they were only at 47 so we left and went to meet up with dewey who was at the bank and got the house keys from him so we could make copies since chris and I do not have a copy of keys yet. We get to the furniture shop that copies keys and they just left for lunch and wouldn’t be back for another hour and half. So back to the laundry mat to put the clothes in the dryer, and instead of walking around in the heat while the clothes dried we just sat in the laundry mat and hung out until they were done. Once they finished we folded them (yes we really did fold all of our clothes!) and put them back in our bags, and went to get some lunch at Al’s a bar right on the water by the ferry dock, they have a beautiful view of puerto rico (the mainland)! (this was the first time we have eaten out since we got here!) We had mimosas, and they were goood!! chris had an awesome pulled pork sandwich and I had a very very boring bland meatloaf sandwich :( but for only 6 bucks you get what you pay for in vieques! After lunch we went back to the furniture store to get the keys copied and while chris did that I ran across the street to the farmacia to see if it was less busy – it was not…this one woman who was there when we went the first time was still sitting in the same spot with her number, ugh ill try again tomorrow. we left and went to the car and headed to the morales (grocery store). Dewey had already gone to work so it was just chris and me out and about in the town with the car! We got to the morales and didn’t get lost! We even found peanut butter and jelly which we have been trying to find forever! yay! PB&J’s in Puerto Rico – im excited! After the morales we came back to the house and chris and I went down to nuestra playa (our beach), the beach right in front of our house, and since noone seems to know the name of it I have decided to name it “our beach”! Chris wanted to snorkel so he put on his flippers, goggles and snorkel and waddled out to the water. It was pretty entertaining to watch him try to stay standing while wading out in the water and every now and then he would bend over and stick his face in the water with his butt sticking up in the air, and then stand up and try not to fall over. it was really shallow a long ways out so he turned back and tried waddling back to the beach, trying so hard not to fall over, its difficult to explain but believe me it was funny to watch! We hung out a little longer until the sun went down a little and we had to get out of there since the bugs come out in full force when the sun goes down!! We both have to work tomorrow and we spent a lot of money at the morales today so we are staying in tonight and hopefully I can catch up on some of my fav tv shows that I have been missing!
vida es buena!
