The Reject Shop has great discounts on clothes: 50 - 70% off! Bill scored, but I was left with empty hands... |
the guys found "just the place" to kill time ;-) Kerry, being a musician and our former bandmate, knows just the right shops to take Bill. |

The letters indicate where the car was purchased, and the numbers are a kind of registration. However, you can get them decorated anyway you want. Kerry needed a new plate, so we went to a shop where they make them in 10 minutes, while you waited! As you can see, these shops are very old with most interesting fronts. Not sure if people lived above the shops, so appears to be residences. Lots of Chinese shop owners. |
We are thrilled to see palm trees in places such as California, but to see a plantation is quite amazing. There are lots of fields planted with palm, banana, rice. |

We've seen lots of little geckos (insurance anyone?), but this was the first lizard who got snapped by Kerry. |
