This afternoon, Jeff had to meet our guide to dob some paperwork and we got a schedule for the rest of our time here. Not a whole lot left to do, so we get to do a lot of sightseeing.
Later this afternoon we got together with a friend from Lewiston (Karl), who happens to be here for business. It was nice to spend some time with someone from home in this faraway place. We showed him around the island, checked out a couple of shops and had a cool drink at Starbucks. After that, he guided us back to the area around his hotel. We discovered that if we would have walked a few more blocks yesterday, when we were browsing the local market area, we would have gotten to his hotel and also back to the same shopping mall that we had been to a few days ago. It is unbelievable how one minute you are walking down a street that is very third worldish and the next you are in a modern, busy shopping area. We shopped for a while and then ate at Pizza Hut. We finished up with a little more shopping before taking a taxi back to our hotel.
Dexter had a pretty good day today. We are really starting to get to know him. He's got a very loving and active personality. He reminds us a lot of Zane. We really miss Elli and Zane and are really getting anxious to go home. Our time here has been wonderful, but we're looking forward to what lies ahead. . .
