Adventures in a Car

Helen went back home on Saturday, but on her last day here we rented a car.

We waited until then because the island had run out of gas. It was nice riding my bike on the empty roads for a while.

Speaking of gas, I love the gas stations out here! They are just tin shacks with clorox bottles filled with gas. When you drive up and ask for, say, three gallons of gas, they bring out three bottles and a funnel and pour it in.

Anyways, Helen and I had a good time with the car. It was fun to listen to the radio station. Talk about eclectic: we went from Disney's "Bare Necessities" to three Beatles songs in a row to a couple of hymns to the same Crystal Gayle song two times in a row.

On Sunday I used the car to attend church down in Utwe. They have the newest church on island and it looks really nice.

They were having communion (Kool Aid for the blood of Christ!) and they also had a ceremony where some guy committed himself to not drinking, partying or whatever. He's like a SUPER member of the church and can wear all white to church (a dangerous wardrobe: undergarments are in full view!).

In the evening my neighbor invited me over for lobsters on the grill. Mmm, mmm!
