Hi Everyone…I hope the wifi will send this…..I didn’t have photos my last few emails but finally took these.

  Randal and I rode the Marina van to nearby Sengai Rengit yesterday.  Randal lugged the alternator to take to the alternator fixit man.  I lugged the cooler so I could buy chicken and pork from the blue station wagon meat shop. The alternator man was closed arbitrarily.  The meat man never sells meat on Mondays.  Now we know.  So we went back today.  The alternator man was still closed so Randal and I walked through town and finally found an alternator shop that was open.  Trusting to intuition and faith, Randal left the alternator to be cleaned.  Then we went back to the meat man and bought a whole chicken and more pork.  We bought a baguette at the bakery and some veggies across the street at the small shop that’s our drop off and pick up spot.  Then it poured while everyone huddled under the shop awning to wait for the van. During the return trip the van stops at a local small “supermarket.”  Luckily by the time we returned to the Marina the downpour had lessened to a sprinkle.  For the second day my laundry isn’t drying so I moved it into the engine room. 

  This is the shop where we meet the van.  You can see our cooler to the right of the yellow bicycle.  Another cruiser’s backpack is to the left of the bicycle.  No one bothers our stuff as we walk around town shopping. 

  The blue station wagon and the meat man and our chicken.  Last time I asked him to chop it into quarters.  This time we left it whole so Randal could try our rotisserie.  I did ask that he chop off the head and feet….

  On the way back to the marina we stop at this little “supermarket’ which sells beer and soda and paper products and ice cream.  Monday we bought kleenex and ice cream and squid balls (like gefilte fish) to put into soup.  Today I bought chunky peanut butter and quick cooking oatmeal.

Then it was back to the boat and try to find somewhere in the frig for food and storage space for everything else.
