life here - sort of

We were driving around the other day on CR 45 when Rebecca stated that it was much easier living here than living in Oxford. There are many reasons for this statement, some of which have to do with the fact we have access to our SL1 Saturn vehicle, others of which have to do with the shops and restaurants being so accessible and close to our apartment. If we need to get vanilla extract, no problem, magnetic strips again no problem, how about a hand towel to match the faded maroon colored one we have, again many choices right at our finger tips. Imagine if life in third world countries were this "easy" doing the everyday chores of cooking, shopping and cleaning would not take most of the day, rather it would be a part of the day just like we are experiencing. As we came back we found items that we forgot we had, have never opened, haven't really used etc... My theory; if we haven't missed it, haven't used it and if we aren't going to then lets sell it. We heard of a garage sale going on in with our friend's mom, so we are taking loads of stuff to sell next Friday and Saturday. Not the way that expected to spend part of our 11th anniversary but we will still go out for ice cream that night, after hopefully getting rid of a bunch of stuff. Will continue to muse about life here as it is different from the Motherland, do keep on reading and keep in touch if you can later
