The short version is that Layne is home and catching up on her sleep deficit in this comfortable well air conditioned apartment. Getting her out of the hospital was a long tedious day of arguing, running myself ragged and some split second timing. I’ll tell the story tomorrow as I am rather tired today and will limit myself to posting some random pictures of Paramaribo taken as I dashed around the capital city buying supplies and ferrying my wife and going shopping for food.
One kind of temple: And another kind of temple in this multiethnic society. Advertising in English:The business heart of downtown, an actual city street rather than a grassy suburb. Casinos have been springing up downtown like toadstools, not the best sign of economic health it seems to me. My favorite grocery store, Tulip, full of familiar and unfamiliar brands and from the outside it looks like Florida to me though that may or may not be a good sign. It’s also true they take Visa, the only place in Suriname I have been able to use a credit card. Amazing.Choi’s, the next best supermarket says it’s where shopping is a pleasure so I figure Tulip’s goes one up:If you are ever in Paramaribo in need of sanitary supplies for your loved one Lin’s is the place to find them. Thought you might like to know…When the atm at Republic Bank is out of service you’ll see a message telling you it’s in “Supervisor Mode.” That’s my favorite phrase now when something isn’t working. I say it’s in supervisor mode. Appropriate no? Thank you for your kind messages in this difficult time.
