It’s that time of blogging where titles are getting hard to come by!
Again another warm morning, and even warmer day, we hit 72°F by mid afternoon. This morning we took the bikes out onto the back roads for our daily exercise. 3.5 miles later we made it back to the camp site. This was the first time either of us had been on a bike for well over a year, and our legs knew it!
After lunch it was off for the weekly shopping expedition. In general food is about 15% cheaper down here. Beer is way cheaper at $18 for a 30 pack and Lyn has even found some wine at $3 a bottle that is drinkable! Gas is $3.20 / US gallon or .84¢ / litre or 53 pence / litre.
Back at the campground we stopped at the office to check the mail, Lyn has recently (re)discovered eBay and I always do a lot of eBay shopping down here for a couple of reasons; we can take back $750 worth of purchases each when we go into Canada, but more importantly a lot of the items are shipped for free to US addresses. Many of times at home you find a real bargain on an item, say costing $8 which would cost $15 at home, but the shipping to Canada is another $8. Lyn had a package of material waiting and I had 2 packages of tools.
We meant to do a bit more work on the badly fitting roof vent, but that can wait until tomorrow.
