Exciting Day!

Posted by shauna in Life in Palau

Today was exciting!  *The* ship arrived today and so the containers were on the streets in front of store fronts in all of downtown Koror. Rachel and I noticed this after we walked to the internet café with our laptops, so with our laptops swung over our shoulders, we headed into Surangel.  We decided to split up and Rachel was headed to get our customer card - a very exciting event and I was headed to the produce section.  Ok, so the produce section is less than half the size of Mesa Produce back home, but it is exciting anyway, seeing all the hustle and bustle taking place.  In fact, while I was bee-lining it to the broccoli crowns, I noticed a woman with her head down racing around frantically, grabbing all she could.  We had met before, but she really didn't notice me until she was done shopping in that section.  It was funny, she looked in my hands and said not to be shocked at the price of the blueberries I had snatched up.  Yes, we got fresh blueberries - well as fresh as they can be after being on a boat for probably 4-6 weeks.  I also grabbed lots of red potatoes as I wasn't sure I'd ever seen those here before.  Finally, right before leaving I asked a Palauan about these big leafy things she was buying.  They are sweet potato leaves she said and she gave a few pointers on how to cook them.  I think we'll be using them like we use kale at home, where we sauté the kale with garlic, onions and olive oil and put over pasta.  Anyway, today was fun and I can't wait for the next boat to arrive and see what it brings!
