Market exploration




Yesterday was a nice day where I explored the wonderful produce market, and Au Bon Marche (the Grocery store). I stocked up on some of the essentials to prepare meals back at my hotel. then sat and enjoyed the harbor view, where by I met a British man whom had shared the plane from Auckland with me, then subsequently had some good conversation, which has been absent with me being a solitary traveler.

I then wondered back to my hotel to prepare a meal with my market finds and contemplate why I didn't make any real plans to meet any of the random folks I have spoken with so far on the island. I must admit it's been a bit lonely. I also discovered my first mosquito bite. I then discovered I am still bad at cooking rice, but It was at least edible, I topped it off with sauteed greens (which remind me of bok choi- but I really have no idea what they are), avocado & some very yummy mushroom soy sauce. i then had a whole papaya for dessert.

Well today I plan to rectify the loneliness by going to the hospital this afternoon (I had planned on going early but the time got away from me, even though i woke at 615am).
I still need to stop in and buy some hair bands to help tame my fly-aways prior to the maternity ward adventures.
