P Day?

Today is officially P Day for the mission so we picked-up Elder Allen and Elder Wilson and took them to town to do their grocery shopping and show us around town a bit. They showed us some local items at the store and we bought a quart of Sorrel juice with ginger. It is good but has a bit of a ginger kick. Elder Allen is from Jamaica and told us quite a bit about the local fruit. Apparently we want to buy the "number mango" which means number 11 mango (it's like Chanel #5 - they don't sell any other number). It's the best for eating (no, I don't know what you do with the other varieties but there are several).
After shopping they wrote their emails to home on our computers. We took them home around noon and then drove the hour to Spanish Town and loaded-up the truck with a lot of the kitchen, and office supplies that the Preeces had stored for us when they left last September. It was very hot and humid work and from the droppings we found, there had been a family of rats that liked the smell of the spices, etc. We were very glad they had been stored in large plastic containers.
Then it was off to the University of West Indies where a company had developed the GPS data for the Garmin units. They charged us $130 US but I think it will help us quite a bit. It doesn't work like a GPS in the US since their addressing system is either non-existent or rather random. It will find streets and we can mark on the screen map where we want to go and it will route us.
We then had dinner at Gauchos with the Cheesmans (office couple) and had to make the one and a half hour drive home in the dark. I think we will plan not to do that again. These are some scary, narrow, windy, bumps, pot-holed roads with crazy drivers, taxi's, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Our landlady called on our cell phone to see why we weren't home yet. But we made it home and survived our first official P-day.
