We had a nice quiet day for a change. We went into town early after visiting Sol y Mar and Meggie. Unfortunately, we came back with almost nothing. Box of cereal, Nido (milk), guava cookies, that was it. We have been out of eggs for weeks and other things. In Martinique, eggs were 1.95 Euro for 6 eggs.
We found out some more details on Dominica: it has 7 areas that are likely for volcanoes. They are of course monitored. The island is very poor. lot's of shacks, like Grenada. Locals bring their jugs to watering areas, for drinking water. The children do not wear uniforms to school like in other islands. However, you do not hear the patoi (sp?). Their manners are a little better than in other English islands. We hate it when you walk in to a store, and they are on the cell, won't get off to do business with you. This has happen several times, and we have walked out...
I cooked lunch of white rice, and a stir fry of celery, green peppers, carrots, sun dried tomatoes, can of mushrooms, onions, garlic, fresh parsley, etc...then added 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, yummy! I didn't eat supper last night. Dad had a small bottle of anchovies with cream cheese for dinner. We also have have lot's of mangoes and 1 pineapple that was given to us. All in all, a great lunch.
Around 3 o'clock, I cleaned the waterline on the boat, green algae. Nasty stuff to get off. Dad needs to check prop today before we leave.
We plan to go to the fresh open market this morning, early. We need produce badly.
