Shopping in Maputo

I went shopping for the first time on Thursday. Debbie took me. I got the things on my list and headed to the check out… A smiling young man greeted me and there were 3 ladies bagging. 4 full bags into my pile and we were at 532R nice. Then the avocados were added some big ones on a special that had to be picked thru carefully but there were some good ones. The man had said dirt cheap. Suddenly my total went up to 1768R I said stop and he called the manager and I tried to explain the avocados were too high and he said something like I was complaining trying to get them for free! Seriously! He said what he would do for me was start all over and I must choose what I wanted and control my mountain. This he said 3 times (about the mountain part) But they were all still smiling as they unloaded the bags and began again. So we added everything without the avocados and did just fine. About that time my friend showed up wondering what was taking sooo long and I told her about the expensive avocados and she called the manager and explained again and since they had already taken my first picks back he said come with me and we went and sure enough he saw the deal and I picked them out again and weighed them and I got 12 for 28.75R They are 60R each. I was so glad he knew I was telling the truth and that I got my Avocados!!! My total was 1992.75R I had 2000R in my purse. Always was a close shopper!! They were all still smiling the manager (who was a really nice man) told me to have a good day. I wish I didn’t have to shop here. So much easier to eat a mango’s.
Friday we got out the greens and the pineapple juice for a smoothie. Brundee was super excited! He happily filled the blender up and it would not work. Should’ve checked first we don’t have the right adapter/inverter... So he had fresh coconut milk instead. I've never been too fond of it but, fresh I really enjoy it.
Had the kitchen all to my self today made I tacos for Sabbath and sang! There were so many people here to see Drew earlier in the week, volunteers transitioning out of the country on to the next jobs etc.
