Shopping in the middle of the day

We arrived in Jizan yesterday on a flight from Jeddah.  At least I have seen the Red Sea, as the plane banked and I looked down on blue water beneath a bright blue sky.  Aubrey, Bryan and Antony were at the airport to meet us.  We came to our compound in Jizan, where George and I were introduced to our apartment, 204.  Later, we went by bus with the teachers who live in the compound to a mall, where we did some shopping, especially for food - we're cooking for ourselves.

Today, Friday here, the end of the week, is a quiet day.  George and I went down a nearby lane and found a supermarket.  Having bought liquid yoghurt by mistake yesterday, I bought real milk today, as well as kitchen things for washing and drying dishes, fruit, bread, and cans of food.


Richard with bags of food and supplies for our kitchen in 204.  George took the photo quickly, knowing that two little tubs of icecream in one of the bags would be melting fast.
