During the Storm

It's pretty windy and overcast here. I'm shocked that nothing is closed. (Click on pict to make it big.)

A friend too me to the fire station and I got a drivers license. Then she went to the bank so she could get funds for her Puerto Rico trip next week, while I perused the grocery store. To my surprise they were 1) open, and 2) still had water. They did not have pineapple juice, wheat thins, or lemon juice, which happened to be the 3 things I had forgotten to get Monday.

Then we went to the Marriott to exchange her EC for US. The Marriott is the only place on the island on lock down. Guests are wearing wrist bands and are confined to their rooms! The casino was closed and the shops were closed and I really had to pee so I sweet talked the people into letting me into one of their closed bathrooms for some much needed relief.

Next we went to SNIC which is island insurance. I'm now officially on my friend's insurance so that I can drive her to the airport. The cost- $3.26EC ($1.20US) since I'll be 25 in 6 days. If I were already 25, it would be free. When I get car insurance it'll be $662.00EC ( $245US) for a YEAR. Wow. I think that's the amount that my mom paid every month per little brother. My insurance (as a good driver) was ~$60US/mo, which was cheaper than all my friends. This will be good since my living expenses are going up with my new apt.

After that we went to Domino's Pizza. I'm currently eating a deep dish medium half canadian bacon-pineapple and half black olive- mushroom. Numie numies. Then I think I will nap and start moving.

Hurricane Dean is apparently a category 3 now. Power went out earlier, but now back. Still raining, it's 5pm. I have picts though! Off to another Hurricane Party downstairs.

Still raining, 7:30pm. Wow, compare the water from another pict. I live on a clif 50 ft above the ocean. Those are big waves. It's gotten worse since that pict taken at 3pm.
