All That for M&Ms???

One day I was skyping with my sister back in the states, and she said, ‘I just got back from the store. I went there to buy some M&Ms’. I was dumbfounded. All the way to the store for a bag of candy???

Then I remembered that ‘normal’ people actually can ‘run to the store’ when they need to.

But, here are a few photos of our trip ‘to the store’, and the reason why we would never go just for a bag of candy!

One hour down the mountain and we get bogged.

Thankfully, a group of friends from our village were behind us on their motorbikes and helped dig us out.

Two hours down the mountain and we get a flat. Thank goodness for the tiny village that happened to have a tire repair ‘hut’!

Eventually, 4 hours later, we made it to town. Stayed for a week and did all the shopping necessary for the next 6 weeks!
