Shopping!!

Since it was my birthday, I was able to go shopping today. Cheryl and I went to the Baptist Mission to shop. We also went out onto the streets to the booths that are set up on the road and bartered with the locals. They were great salesman and really very friendly, but persistent. We dutch women did pretty well when we compared our prices with those of the other volunteers. It was fun -- I did learn that even if you are not going to buy from a particular local vendor you need to look at all their wares, otherwise they get upset. It was a good experience and I am glad I was able to get out and enjoy the views of the mountains on the way to the mission. The countyside is really very beautiful. The hibiscus was growing wild along the streets in the mission - Ou Bel!!
