Nassau

Today (Wednesday) is a beautiful day, weather wise, in Nassau.  Lots of boating going on, swimming and sunning.  We took D-Time back to town this morning and walked a mile or so to a local shopping center.  We checked into the local telephone company hot spot information for one of our iPhones so we hope to have it up and running soon.  We are still waiting on AT&T to "unlock" it so we can use it here.  After the phone company we hit the local grocery store.  It reminded me of a "Fresh Market" store in the U.S.  They had everything you could find in the U.S., only a lot more expensive.  For example, a box of frosted flakes was $6.00, a 24 pack of Coke Zero was $16.00 and a gallon of milk was $8.00.  We bought a gallon of milk, fresh veggies and some fresh bread and got out of there only spending about $30.00.  Granted, we could easily carry what we bought, so you can tell we didn't buy a lot.

Everyone here has been very friendly and security conscious.  If you want to go into a store, you push a button, which buzzes the owner and they release the lock on the door to let you in.  We had stopped at our 3rd marine supply store (after buying groceries) on our way back to the boat, and I just wanted to keep walking.  Daniel wanted to go in again (looking for a part) so he went and I just kept walking.  I felt very safe and secure, no problems walking the main street.  After a while Daniel caught back up with me.  He said he was "approached" by some man on the street - came right at Daniel and swung his arm up like he was going to hit him, and then just went on by.  We made it safely back to D-Time and then back to C-Time and unloaded our groceries.  With the fresh bread we bought at the store, I made Daniel a fresh fish sandwich from the wahoo he caught yesterday.
