In coming over from the states the only food supplies we brought with us were some dried spices, so grocery shopping for a few weeks seemed like a daunting task. Thank the Lord one of our teammates from Langano took us to several supermarkets and souks. He knew which stores had the best prices too!!! So incredible helpful :) The best part about grocery shopping is the price of the produce - kilos of avocados, mangos, pineapples, tomatoes, green beans, carrots, eggplant, etc. all for under $18.75. Looking at all of our bags of groceries I'm 90% certain we forgot something very essential to make a complete, well-balanced, and scrumptious meal, but hey I'm just a beginner :) Newbie according to a homeless man from Somalia who spoke surprisingly perfect English.
While driving around town, we were on the hunt for refrigerators for both sides of the duplex. In trying to navigated the Mercado (a massive market), we managed to drive the wrong way down 4 different streets. One time a police officer blew his whistle at us and to stop us. He then came over to the car, told us to look at the sign, and then pointed to a pole with no sign on it! Classic - how were we suppose to know?!?
We are heading down country to Camp Langano in 24 minutes :) Can't wait to see our new home and get settled.
