First trip to Roseau

I went into Roseau yesterday - I did not drive - not ready for that becuause the road is very windy (looks like Pacific 1 in California). It is BUSY, BUSY, BUSY in the city and the traffic is wild. The streets are very narrow and people park in very strange places - not always off to the side. It is like dodgem cars on an obstacle course.

I went shopping in a couple of large grocery stores - very different than the little shops in Portsmouth or Picard (right near the university campus). I wandered around for quite awhile while my ride played squash. It was great to see all the stuff that is available - pretty much everything. I did a lot of price comparison and now I know who has the best prices. Once our IGA is open right next to the campus it will be a lot easier - we won't have to go into Roseau as much, although it is not an issue since Lee will pick up anything I need. A full-size grocery store in our community is big excitement here you know.

I am doing laundry today - breaking in my new washer and dryer. Doesn't that sound exciting?
I am actually going to try to cook something today too. I didn't have enough stuff previously, but I do now. I bought a lot yesterday so I am better stocked, although I still only have one knife. I'll have to wash it a lot. Ah well, it is all part of the adventure. I am going to make a chicken dish with some tomato, white beans and spinach on pasta - yummmm. I have been having a lot of fun trying food at the different shacks - it is really good, but I want to cook too.

Well, the good news is that the swelling in my feet and ankles has finally gone down. I looked like a 90 year-old woman with fat ankles. It was the adjustment to the heat and humidity - I have to drink a lot of water to keep hydrated because I sweat so much. I am not complaining - it's all great.

Oh, time for another load - see ya.
