Groceries, Gloria Jeans and Cockroaches !!
Now I bet you think that I went into the grocery store or Gloria Jeans and found a cock roach ! Wrong, we went to town yesterday to do some looking around. Mark was looking for an airline office that had moved three times since posting its old address on there web site. In our looking, my blood sugar was getting low and when I looked up there was a Gloria Jean's Coffee shop across the street. I told Mark to go ahead and I would catch up. I had an iced Cappacino and an apple tart and sat down to listen to all of the tourist that were there from around the world. The place was full but only one couple was Vietnamese. After checking out the second address Mark and I met up and of course I had found a small little mall area to look around in. Since he had not eaten we found a place that actually had Pita bread sandwiches. I, not being very hungry, just had a chicken sandwich, most of which he ate. It was good and not very expensive. After finishing our meal, Mark headed out to the third address he had been given but by this time it was 6:30 and of course they were closed. I headed to an area where we were told they had a western grocery store and sure enough I found two of them right next door to each other. I checked them both out, I opted for the one that seemed to have there prices a little lower, but ended up having to go to both because one did not have everything I wanted. We now have some Cheetos, salsa, hard taco shells, a cake mix and frosting and one brownie mix. The cake mix and frosting cost me almost ten US dollars. This will not be something I do all the time but it is great to know that it is there if a craving hits. We also found some Kettle Corn popcorn that we have on movie nights. It almost feels like home. Well I bet you are thinking that I forgot the cock roach, who could forget this guy, he was the size of a small mouse and greeted us as we walked in our front door. Mark had to corner him and then step on him around six times before the thing gave up !! I probably should have offered him to our neighbors for a meal !
