Went For A Walk

... in the freezing cold, we were THAT bored. I'm starting to hate this place. There's just nothing to do when we're not visiting Elizabeth or going shopping, and both of those require a driver, and usually a translator. I can't wait until we're out of here, but we've got two weeks to go. I'll see if I can't download stuff from Watch on YouTube or something to give us more to pass the time with. We should've brought a laptop for each of us because the laptop is also the DVD player. At least Tara had the good idea of increasing our Netflix account temporarily so we now have five movies (plus the Friends DVDs) to watch ... probably over and over. We're so bored, we've started watching all the OTHER stuff on those DVDs. We also discovered that the hot-pot we bought has a three-prong plug, but for this one we need an American 3-to-2 plug adapter, not the European ones I have now. It's always something. My butt is sore from all the times I've kicked myself.

Tara says we can borrow a kettle from Vika, so that's good.

Grocery store down the street, now close permanently -- Might be the one, now with a different name, where I had that beet salad -- Might be "our" courthouse, but not sure
