Essentially Tanki Flip I was approximately 2. I chose this particular location because there were 4 condominiums for sale at an attractive price in this complex and I wanted to rent one to see if I liked it and felt secure. Anyway, I didn't rent a car for the first few days so I could explore the island; walking and using the public transportation system.
I walked to the near by grocery stores and carried supplies in a back pack. This was not the case the following evening, but I will get to that later I stopped several times and asked people for directions to the grocery stores, back to the street where I was staying on etc. One woman thought I was crazy walking around at in the afternoon.
She told me that as a local, she doesn't do that on account of the heat. I spoke with another woman who was waiting at the "bus stop". She spoke Spanish. Fortunately I know conversational Spanish.
When I told her where I was going, she gave me directions and then warned me about the dogs I thanked her and walked back to the condo complex. Other than a couple of dogs barking at me and arriving very hot and exhausted, I arrived without incident. I have to get back to work now but will continue with the rest of the story later today.
